Get Off of My Cloud (Live 1966)

[Verse 1]

I live on an apartment

On the ninety-ninth floor of my block

And I sit at home looking out the window

Imagining the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy

All dressed up just like the Union Jack

And says, "I've won five pounds

If I have his kind of detergent pack"

[Chorus]

I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Don't hang around, boss, two's a crowd

On my cloud baby, alright"

[Verse 2]

The telephone is ringing

I say, "Hi, who is it there on the line?"

A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"

"Well, I guess I'm doing fine"

He says, it's 6 a.m., there's too much noise

Don't you people ever want to go to bed?"

And then he said, "Because you feel so good

You have to drive me out of my head"

[Chorus]

I said, "Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Don't hang around, boss, two's a crowd

On my cloud baby, babe, alright"

[Verse 3]

I was sick and tired, fed up with this

And decided to take a drive downtown

'Cause it was so very quiet and peaceful

There was nobody, not a soul around

I laid myself out

I was so tired, I started to dream

In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag

Stuck on my window screen

[Chorus]

I said, "Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Hey, you, get off of my cloud

Don't hang around, boss, two's a crowd

On my cloud"

[Outro]

I said, "Hey, you, get off of my cloud"

I said, "Hey, you, get off of my cloud"

I said "Hey, you, get off of my cloud"

I said "Don't hang around, boy, two's a crowd

On my cloud"
