On a deep blue night in 1973

I said, "cousin Reggie, come along with me"

Feeling mighty thirsty like you wouldn't believe

I had me a trick hidden up my sleeve

In the blue night

Along a dirt path, we was up to no good

To that soda pop stand nestled deep in the woods

Reggie said, "cousin, now what is the plan?

It's a good day to stick it to the man"

On a blue night

Seven is the number of the rainbow hue

Sweeter is the slumber when the night is blue

"Say Mr. Johnson, what's your best price

For two soda pop just as cold as ice?

I got a wheat penny, two Mercury dimes

And a simple new song all about the good times"

And the blue night
