Sister Ray (1969-01-28: La Cave, Cleveland OH) Songtext
von The Velvet Underground

Duck and Sally inside
They′re cooking for the down pipe
Who're staring at Miss Rayon
Who′s busy licking up her pig pen

I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn′t hit it sideways
Oh, just like Sister Ray said
Whip it on ′em

Rosey and Miss Rayon
They're busy waiting for her booster
Who just got back from Carolina
She said she didn′t like the weather
They're busy waiting for her sailor
Who says he′s just as big as ever
He says he's from Alabama
He wants to know a way to earn a dollar


I′m searching for my mainer
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh, just like Sister Ray said
Lay it on ′em

Cecil′s got his new piece
He cocks and shoots it between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
Shoots him down dead on the floor
Oh, you shouldn't do that
Don′t you know you'll stain the carpet?
Now don′t you know you'll stain the carpet?
And by the way, have you got a dollar?
Oh, no, man, I haven′t got the time, time
Too busy sucking on a ding-dong
She's busy sucking on my ding-dong
Oh, she does just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching for my mainline
I said I cou-cou-couldn′t hit it sideways
I cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-cou-couldn′t hit it sideways
Oh just, just, it just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just
Ray's all on ′em
Oh!


Now, who is that knocking?
Who's knocking at that chamber door?
Now could it be the police?
They come to take me for a ride, ride
Oh, but I haven′t got the time, time
Hey, hey, hey she's busy sucking on my ding-dong
She′s busy sucking on my ding-dong
Oh, now, do it just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching for my mainline
I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn′t hit it sideways
Oh, now just like
Oh, just like
Oh, just like
Oh, just like
Oh, just like
Oh, just like

Doc and sally inside, now move it along!
Cooking for the down five
Who′s staring at Miss Rayon, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!
Licking up pig pen

I've been s-s-s-s-searching for my mainline
I couldn′t hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Just like
Oh, just like, do it, do it, do it!
Just like
Just like that
Just like

Now Rosie and Miss Rayon
They′re busy waiting for her booster
She's just back from Carolina
She said she′s bound to beat her sailor
I said you haven't got the time, time
You're busy sucking on my ding-dong
You busy sucking on my ding-dong

Now, just like Sister Ray said
I′m searching for my mainline
I said I couldn′t hit it sideways
Whip it on me, Jim
Whip it on me, Jim
Whip it on me, Jim
Whip it on me, Jim
Said I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh, do it
Now just like
Now just like Sister Ray said

I said now Cecil′s got his new piece
He cocks it, shoots it BANG between three and four
He aims it at the sailor
He shoots him down dead on the floor
Oh, you shouldn't do that
Don′t you know you'll hit the carpet?
Don′t you know you'll mess the carpet?

Oh, she hasn't got the time, time
Busy sucking on his ding-dong
She′s busy sucking on his ding-dong

Now just like Sister Ray said
I′m searching for my mainline
Couldn't hit it sideways
Couldn′t hit it sideways
Now just like
Now just like
Now just like
Like Sister Ray said, now do it to him

Duck and Sally inside
They're busy cooking for the down pipe
Who′re staring at Miss Rayon
Who's busy licking up her pig pen

I′m busy searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
Now just like
Now just like
I said oh, just like
