Tony Carey - Cover It Up Lyrics

Lyrics Cover It Up - Tony Carey



There was a party
And it got late
Annie and Howdy hada hot date
Annie was flyin′ on a beer-and-a-half
Howdy was dyin'
To get her out in the grass
Annie′s there feelin' no pain
Howdy thinks rubbers are
For walkin' in the rain
And the big man said
Don′t cover it up, don′t cover it up
Don't cover it up, don′t cover it up
Take a cold shower
Tie down your hands
A little will power
Is good for the man
But you can't do that, no
No you can′t do that
Said the man in the big tall hat
(The big tall hat)
And he said it to the english
Said it to the finns
Heard by the africans (buana)
Millions of them
Don't waste no seed
Don′t let it go
If you don't want another mouth to feed
You gotta just say no
Annie's late, getting scared
Howdy evaporates into the air
And the big man said
Don′t cover it up, don′t cover it up
Don't cover it up, don′t cover it up
Take a cold shower
Tie down your hands
A little will power
Is good for the man
But you can't do that,
No you can′t do that
Said the man in the hat
Annie's down
Don′t know where to turn
Tries to make the best of it
But she crashed and burned
Still the big man says
Don't cover it up, don't cover it up
Don′t cover it up, don′t cover it up
And She couldn't tell her Mama
She′d never tell her Dad
She flew to the Bahamas
To an adress that she had
And the doctor took a powder
When the bleeding got too bad
Don't cover it up
