OUTSIDE

(Alan Flynn)


The Rythmics, Dir. Nat Star
V. Cavan O’Connor
Recorded 12th July 1929



A pal of mine went calling
Upon a girl last night
The rain began to fall and fall
It rained with all its might
I met my pal this morning
And said, “Did you get wet?”
He looked at me and yelled Oh, gee
You ain’t heard nothing yet

Oh outside the rain was pouring down
I felt mighty blue
Outside the wind was howling round
And she was lonesome, too
Outside we heard the thunder crash
She looked at me and sighed
Though she knew it wasn’t right
She said, “Why not stay all night?”
And I did,……..outside.
