 Robert Earl this friend of mine

 You know he's always looking after my best interest

 He told me Lyle P. you need to get some action

 Get your head back in line

 You need to get out on your own boy

 This hanging around here's got to stop

 Get out on your own boy

 And take a little trip to the record shop

 I said the record shop

 But Robert I don't need no records

 He just smiled and he said

What you need is a

 Record Lady

 Record Lady

 She's got the cutest little cartridge

 That you've ever seen

 She's a phonographic dream

I didn't waste no time about it

I put on my coat and shoes

I packed up my old rocking chair

And I left them hell on Church Street blues

And I went down to the record shop

What else could I do

She was five foot one and three quarters

Lord she claimed she was five foot two

And she looked at me with her big green eyes

And she said can I help you find something

I said what you got on special

Record Lady

Record Lady

She's got the cutest little cartridge

That you've ever seen

She's a phonographic dream

Acting very safisticated

I began to browse around

I walked up to the Record Lady

And I said I sure do like what I have found

It would be so beautiful

Please come away with me

We could run down to Istanbul

Or maybe even Gay Paris

And she looked at me with her big green eyes

She said can I help you find something

I said what you got on special

Record Lady

Record Lady

She's got the cutest little cartridge

That you've ever seen

She's a phonographic dream

A phonographic dream

One day you know I will see

My phonographic fantasy

In sweet fulfillment to the last detail

Down in Acapulco

Or even somewhere else

Just her and me together

The whole day long

Her and me together

Playing them records all night long

She's the Record Lady

Record Lady

Record Lady at the record shop

Set it spinning mama

Don't never stop my

Record Lady

Record Lady
