lyrics

1 - Pull the shade
Keep out the light
How’m I gonna get to sleep tonight
Here in the middle of the city, yeah.
Doors are shakin’ like wooden toys
It must be the delivery boys
Making so much noise.
No matter what
The iceman comes once a day.

2 - I sit among my bric-a-brac
Talkin’ about this and that
Serving tea with honey, yeah.
Hey little schoolboy, listen up
You’re drinking from the same cup
They used to toast my beauty.
No matter what
The iceman comes once a day.

Bridge - Take the linen, take the chest of drawers
Whatever you want, it’s yours
Just buy me flowers and say a prayer
And give the church my money.

3 - Pull the shade
Keep out the light
How’m I gonna get to sleep tonight
Here in the middle of the city, yeah.
Doors are rattlin’ like wooden toys
It must be the delivery boys
Making so much noise.
No matter what
The iceman comes once a day.
