Lay, baby, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, baby, lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, baby, lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Stay, baby, stay
Stay with your girl a while
Until the break of day
Let me see you make her smile

Her clothes are dirty but her hands are clean
And she's the best thing you've ever seen
Stay, baby, stay
With your girl a while

Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer when the one that you love
Is standing in front of you?

Baby, now

Lay, baby, lay
Across my big brass bed
Stay, baby, stay
Stay while the night still ahead

I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Lay, baby, lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Stay, baby, stay, baby
While the night still ahead
