NEGOTIATIONS
Les Pouliot

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1962


Baby, let's get together for negotiations
And have a little summit talk
Last night we had a nuclear blowup
And I'm still suffering from shock
Let's sign a treaty we'll have no more fights
'Cause I don't want another battle like last night
Let's get together for negotiations
And have a little summit talk.

Baby, let's get together for a legal visit
And have a little peace time chat
'Cause after our third world war last night, honey
I don't know where I'm at
Now you know that I love ya honey don't be mean
Please tune in my lovin' on your radar screen
Let's get together for negotiations
And have a little summit talk.

Well honey why can't we join forces,
'Cause we could make a great company
But honey put away them fightin' words
And come and take up arms with me.

Baby let's get together for a good discussion
And just forget about the past
'Cause I got a heart that's a-banging and a-burning
Like a hundred thousand megaton blast
Well honey come and give me just a lovin' kiss
'Cause I am mighty certain we could coexist
Let's get together for negotiations
And have a little summit talk.

Honey, but honey, I wants to negotiate,
But honey, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, oh all right honey.

Well honey why don't we join forces
'Cause we could make a great company
But honey put away them fightin' words
And come and take up arms with me.

Baby let's get together for special conference
And put away the artillery
I wants to give you all the lovin' I can give you,
If you just surrender to me
Well let's do away with the battle stations,
You and I can be two united nations
Let's get together for negotiations
And have a little summit talk.

But honey, but, but, but, but, but, but, oh all right honey.
