Mungo Jerry — Quiet Man

Written by: Ray Dorset When the party is over, the whisky's all run dry It's five o'clock in the morning, the folks have said goodbye Baby says she loves me, the music's playing low We're lying on the sofa, having one last smoke Sometimes I like relaxin' Sometimes I like to be a quiet man When work has been quite heavy, sweatin' all day long It's great to have a shower, Or drink, nice, and long Catch the late night movie, just my girl and me Take a little stroll, no-one on the streets Sometimes I like relaxin' Sometimes I like to be a quiet man I like my share at ball games, sometimes I like a fight I really dig those nightclubs, big sounds and them strobe lights Cruisin' through the city, with the radio on real loud But sometimes I really need, to get away from all the crowds The weekends can be hectic, when all the folks drop in Especialy when it's hot, and we go down to the beach But if you don't say it, Sometimes You wanna pass It's good to stick together, who knows how long it'll last It's nice to slow down sometimes, it can be good to be a quiet man I like my share at ball games, sometimes I like a fight I really dig those nightclubs, big sounds and them strobe lights Cruisin' through the city, with the radio on real loud But sometimes I really need, te get away from all the crowds Repeat first verse It's nice to slow down sometimes, it can be good to be a quiet man Yeah sometimes I like to be a quiet man
