PUT IT IN A COOL DRY PLACE

(Peter Nappa)



Well I woke up in the morning

The place was such a wreck

And I couldn't reach the bathroom

Thought I'd better clear the deck

I tried to call a lawyer

And asked him what to do

He referred me to his doctor

Who referred me back to you

And when you checked the manual

You kept inside the case

It said, "Put it in a cool dry place."



I drove around the city

Looking for a room

But the only cash we had

Was the scent from your perfume

When I suggest the mountains

You thought it worth a peek

But by the time we get there

You tell me not to speak

It happens all the time

When I try to plead my case

You say, "Put it is a cool dry place."



Cho: I'd be better off without you

And I know you think about it too

When I say, "I'll get a lawyer."

You say, "Don't you remember when?"

So then I reconsider

And here we go again



Each day I go to work

'Cause that's what I have to do

You think I'm such a jerk

I'd expect no less from you

At night when I get home

I'm tired and out of sorts

You think that all I think about

Is what's inside my shorts

I crawl into my bed

Great expectations on my face

You say, "Put it in a cool dry place."



I'm tired of all the put downs

And all the snide remarks

You're a series of explosions

When all I want are sparks

I need for this to end

With my sanity intact

You think I'm going crazy

On a locomotive track

I ask for understanding

You can't look me in the face

You say, "Put it in a cool dry place."



cho:

Now I'm looking for revenge

For the rotten stinking life

From my one time best companion

Who then turned into a wife

She's sleeping in the kitchen

So peaceful and serene

My problems now have ended

I think you know what I mean

The hearse comes to the door

And with a grin upon my face

I say, "Put her in a cool dry place."
