Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed 
 Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed 
 Whatever colors you have in your mind 
 I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine 
    Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed 
 Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile 
 Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile 
 His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean 
 And you're the best thing that he's ever seen   
 Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile 
 Why wait any longer for the world to begin 
 You can have your cake and eat it too 
 Why wait any longer for the one you love 
 When he's standing in front of you   
 Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed 
 Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead 
 I long to see you in the morning light 
 I long to reach for you in the night 
 Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
