All the night it's bli-bli-bli

'N blop-blop-blop 'n drip, drip, drip

I'm turnin' the faucet off



Pretty uptight from bli-bli-bli

'N blop-blop-blop, I hate this trip

I'm turnin' the faucet off



That faucet's drippin'



Turnin' the faucet off



Tryin' t'sleep, I need my rest

But there's no rest f'me, I guess

I'm turnin' the faucet off



(Repeat Top)



My mind is flippin'



Turnin' the faucet off



I'm tryin' my best to sleep

I'm tryin' without success

I tell y' it just ain't fair a faucet

Measures in this mess

That's it, I guess!



Every night I gotta git up in the middle of the gol'durn night

An' it's colder'n a Swedish well-digger's behin'

But I gotta do it

Otherwise I'm outta' m'min. stone crazy



Stop the faucet from drippin'

'N drivin y'nuts - stone nuts

It's drivin' you crazy

One more drip an' you'll scream



No stuff, you can look him

An' tell he has enough

Whoa-oh, lemme tell y'really

It's rough



Talkin' 'bout them blee blop blues



I'm hip to that drip goofin' my sleep

I'm so tired o'gittin' up in the night

What a catastratrose

Pride's got me feelin' I'm boun't'

Behave like an oaf

I'll git me a hammer - Bam!

Quite the difference in the way

The faucet soun's now

I'm gonna go bam-bam-bam-bam

Bam-bam-bam on that faucet

Damn that faucet for the stupid ol'

Drip that it is I tell y'

I really am sick o'that drip

Maybe the plumber man's

Got him a better, prettier tip

About stoppin' that drip

But as f'now



Background:

When you be deep within y'nightly nap

An' nothin worser than a drippin' tap

You try t'lay there an' preten' you deaf

But soon y' fin'ly know there ain' nothin' left

That you jus' cannot stand it anymore

You're hip

Drip drip drip drip

An' so y'git up an' you're half asleep

You're so disgusted that'cha wanna weep

You bump your knee while tryin' t'find the lamp

Your throat is dried up and y'feelin' a cramp

You can't feel dum'r an' you'd like t'kill the plum'er

You envy children in summer camp



But as for now

But as for now

The drippin' soun'

The drippin' soun'

Has got me so I'm 'bout t'tear the plumin' down

I'm 'bout t'tear the plumin' down I'm talkin' down

Y'gotta stop

Y'gotta stop

The constant seep

The constant seep

Because it makes it real impossible t'sleep

Real impossible t'sleep, I'm talkin' sleep

Your plum'er goofed

So face the fact

Y' gotta use

A lot o'tact



Your plumber really gotta' straighten

Up his act

Next time you're li'ble to crack



Folks with leaky faucets

Think o'wakin' up millions o'times

T'stop the faucet drippin'

Part o'the trouble o'livin' with plumbin'

Is the dues a fella always pays

Adoptin' fancy citified ways

That's what'cha git f'livin in the city

Whenever a nature lover hears your tale

You ain' gonna git lots o'pity



Dig - when y'r bothered by the blee bop blues

Dig this - turn the faucet off'n you'll stop blues

Then dig this - you won't have t'sing th'

Blee bop blues



When pipes're drippin' nerves're strainin'

People jus' can't help complainin'

Everybody really c'n dig that



Stuff that pipe



End this endless incredible gripe

End this endless gripe



That's them dues' - Blee blop blues

Yeah - - - - - - -
