Long Hot Summer Night

It sure was a long,
long, long hot summer night,
as far as my eyes could see.
But my heart was way down
in a cold cold winter storm.
Well, mr darlin' where can you be?
Where can you be, baby?
Where can you be?

There were three sugar walls
and two candy cane windows
But the serious mood melted
all those in sight.
Everybody's on fire
but I'm snowing in a cold blizzard.
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer,
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer,
Where are you on this uh hot cold summer night?
Wo wo, night.

Around about this time
the old telephone blew its horn across the night.
Scared little Annie clean out of her mind.
And I tell ya
Roman the candle he peeps
out of his peekaboo hide and seek
and grabbed little Annie
from the ceiling just in time.
And the telephone keeps on screamin'.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

"Hello," said my shakey voice.
"Well, how you doin?" I start to stutter,
"Can't cha tell I'm doin' fine."
There was a baby talkin',
she's way down 'cross the border.

She says, "I'm gonna hurry to ya,
I've been a fool and I'm tired of cryin'.
Said I'm tired, Jimi."

Yes a long, long hot summer night
as far as my eyes could see.
But I can feel the heat comin' on
As my baby's gettin' closer.
I'm so glad that my baby's comin's to rescue me.

So glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me.
