I'll Be Waiting

[Verse 1]

When the cock crows in the morning

On another red letter day

I'll be a busy bee, honey

I'll be working hard for my pay

And in the cold light of the evening

When you just can't find your way

I'll be a stargazer, darling

I'm gonna search 'til we find our way

And when the apple trees are blooming

And there's a new child on the way

I'll be an ass-beater, honey

I'm gonna work hard night and day

[Chorus]

I'll be waiting

Oh, waiting patiently

No hesitating

When you call me I'll be ready

[Verse 2]

And when the blue night blacks above you

And your old ghosts come out to play

I'll be Dan Aykroyd, honey

I'm gonna chase those ghouls away

But when the long nights twist and turning

And even sleep won't find you, babe

I'll tell you stories from the city

I'll take you half a world away

[Chorus]

I'll be waiting

Oh, waiting patiently

No hesitating

Oh, when you call me I'll be ready

I'll be waiting

Oh, waiting patiently

No hesitating

Oh, when you call me I'll be ready

I'll be ready

Oh, babe
