What do you have next for us, Lyle?
Well, here's a song that started with an idea.
Good.
For sure, you know, talking about Robert and how nice he was about letting us hang out
at his house.
When Robert would get really busy, rather than run us off, as he should have done, he
would leave himself.
He would, if he had a big project due or something important to do that required time to himself,
he would check into a motel.
That's really true.
But I could see, I started, and he was always very nice about it, but he would encourage
each of us that hung out at the house to pursue interests that would take us away from the
house, for example.
And if you didn't really think about it, I mean, he was so good about it, you'd think
he was just, well, this Robert, he's really on my side here trying to get me to, and leave,
really, is what he was doing.
[Ab]
[Eb] So this was a place, there was a little business down from Robert's house that was kind of
a cross between Waterloo Records and Oat Willies, and run by a really thin guy with a long beard
and little round glasses from Abilene named Buck.
And they sold those really weird square kind of boxes that had those discs in them.
I don't know what they are, but [Ab] they're

[Eb] I said, [Ab] the record shop, but [Db] Robert, I don't [Eb] need no [Ab] records.
He just smiled and he [Db] said, what you [Eb] need is a record lady, [Db]
[Ab] a record lady.
[Db]
And she got [Bb] the cutest little cartridge [Eb] that you've ever seen.
She said, [E] a [Eb] phonographic [Ab] dream.
Well, I didn't waste no [Db] time [Ab] about it.
I put on my [Db] coat and [Ab] shoes.
I packed up my [Db] old rocking [Abm] chair [Bb] and I left them hell on [Eb] church street blues.
And [C] I went down [Db] to the record shop.
[C]
What else could [Db] I do?
She was [E] five foot one [Eb] and three quarters.
With large acclaim, she was five foot [Ab] two.
And she looked at me with her [Db] big green [Ab] eyes.
She said, can I help you [Db] find something?
I said, what you [Ab] got on?
Special record lady, [Db]
[Ab] a record lady.
She got [Bb] the cutest little cartridge [Eb]
that you've ever seen.
She said, [Abm] a [Eb] phonographic [Ab] dream.
Well, acting very [Db] sophisticated, [Ab]
I began to [Db] browse around.
I walked up to the record [Cm] lady and I said, [Bb] I sure do like [Eb] what I have found.
I told [C] her, well, it would be [Db] so [Ab] beautiful.
[C] Please come [Db] away with me.
[E] We could run down to [Eb]
Istanbul, [E] or maybe [Eb] even the Gay Parade.
And [Ab] she looked at me with her [Db] big green eyes.
[Ab] She said, can I help you find [Db] something?
I said, what you got on?

She [E] said, a phonographic dream.
I said, a phonographic [Eb] dream.
[Ab]
Well, one day, you [Db] know, I will see [Ab] my [Db] phonographic fantasy.
[Ab] And sweep her film into [Db] the last [Abm] detail down [Bb] in Agapoco,
[Eb] even somewhere else, [C] just her and me [Db] together
[C] the whole [Db] day long.
[E] And her and [Eb] me together, [E] playing them records [Ebm] all night [Ab] long.
She's a record [Db] lady, [Ab]
a record [Db] lady,
[Ab] a record lady at the record [Ab] shop.
She said, it's been [Db] a mama, don't [Ab] never stop, my record [Db] lady, my record lady.
