OH NEIL!

Carole King

Oh! Neil!

I’ve loved you for so long

I never dreamed you’d put me in a song

I’m Carol!

And I live in Tennessee

I never hoped that you’d remember me

Darling, when I saw you at the square dance

My pulse skipped a beat

My heart felt so heavy

Like I had too much to eat

Then you took me walking in the moonlight

It was, oh, so sublime

I had too much molasses

And your lips stuck to mine

Oh! Neil!

I’d even give up a month’s supply of chewin’ tabacky

Just to be known as Mrs. Neil Sedacky

My Grandpappy, he don’t like your records

He said if I play them, I will surely die

Lookout! I see him comin’ with his shotgun!

There’s nothing left to do...

Oh! Neil! I’ll surely die for you!
