Closet and Drawers

I got a closet and drawers
I got a closet and drawers
Drawers to put stuff in
It’ll be there when I return

In my closet there’s 3 guitars
Take one out and I lean it ‘gainst the wall
It’s there whenever I need it
It’s OK if I leave it

At night I sometimes watch the ballgame
In the office with the guys
Sometimes Natalie’s there too

Lots of people to meet
They’re always out on the street
The stuff I buy in the store
Ends up on the floor

I got a monkey in red
Comes and sits on my bed
Read him stories at night
Before I turn out the light

I got a lady in pink
She thinks she knows what I think
She’s right most of the time
She makes me stop on a dime

I got an attention span
Runs the length of my hand
I tie my pants at the shoe
Sometimes I tie ‘em with glue

Sometimes I don’t sleep til it’s morning
That way it’s light out
And I can see my dreams

I got a closet and drawers
For the 1st time in years
I put your number away
I might use it someday

I got a closet and drawers
I got a closet and drawers
Drawers to put stuff in
It’ll be there when I return

At nite I sometimes watch the ballgame
In the office with the guys
Sometimes Natalie’s there too…
