.44 Special

Got a Special number 44 It’s a pretty little number, keep it by the door My baby loves it she holds it in her palm She really likes the metal, says it keeps her calm She really likes the metal, says it keeps her calm I got an apartment, it’s down on Cherry Street It ain’t much to look at but the rent is cheap Sleazy landlord in a chequered shirt He always got a briefcase full of paperwork He always got a briefcase full of paperwork Roly Poly lived above my bed He had a bad obsession for sweet gingerbread He went downtown and he bought her a rose He whipped his little lady til she baked a loaf He whipped his little lady til she baked a loaf Got a Special number 44 It’s a pretty little number, keep it by the door Late in the evening when I take my rest I keep it laying with me up and down my breast I keep it lying with me up and down my breast
