OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John<\/a>, and says: “Today, folks, we have an unusual request, for a song from a group called, uhh, Concrete Blonde (hey, Bob, is that a real group name?). In any case, I’ll try to sing this right with my ukulele here, as we wish the happiest of birthdays to dieppe<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n
Outside in the hall there\u2019s a catfight
\nIt\u2019s well after midnight
\nI guess I\u2019ll be allright
\nI\u2019m laid out on the floor
\nDrunk and poor
\nHow much longer how much more<\/p>\n

Rock me to sleep
\nStrong & deep.
\nThe screaming cats they give me the creep
\nBut aside from all that I feel no pain
\nStaring up at the ceiling stains
\n…neon in the window
\n…sirens far away
\n…news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday<\/td>\n

   <\/td>\nThey\u2019re at it again next door
\nThis whole floor I swear
\nThey\u2019re out to drive me crazy
\nNot right now I\u2019m high as a cloud I\u2019m soft and gray and lazy
\n…neon in the window
\n…sirens far away
\n…news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday<\/p>\n

Fly me
\nOut the window.
\nSomewhere far away
\nSinging on the radio<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
