[Lyric] .44 Special (The Felice Brothers)

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
