I was grooving at the Boxcar Bar, drinking my beer
My pool cue was playing fine
I saw this little lady walking over here
Like it was 1959
Said you're hunky-dory, I like your funky story
Now, if you got the time for me
She said no way, I've got to get away
Why can't you just try and see?
CHORUS: Put your pipe down baby (put your pipe down baby!)
Put your pipe down baby (put your pipe down baby!)
Put your pipe down baby (oooo, now, now, now, now!)
Put your pipe down baby (put your pipe down baby!)
Hot sometimes, it's not sometimes
You've got to get to where you want to go
If you've got the notion, well, I've got devotion
You know I can't let you go
Groovin' on the moon on a Friday night
Groovin' on the moon in the sand
Every time I feel all right
Well, I see that pipe in your hand
CHORUS
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
Put your pipe down baby, come on, come on
I was grooving at the Boxcar Bar, drinking my beer
My pool cue was playing fine
I saw this little lady walking over here
Like it was 1959
Said you're hunky-dory, I like your funky story
Now, if you got the time for me
She said no way, I've got to go away
Why can't you just let me be?
CHORUS
END ON 'G'
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CALOBO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
