Again, a favorite of mind. An example of how to keep the same chorus with three different meanings. KEEPING THE RIFF RAFF OUT
MAB/Nelson/Storms/Nelson
It was a bright sunny Sunday, first weekend in May
We were cruising on our Harley’s as we turned down Main
The girls said we’re hungry let’s get something to earth
Head to toe in leather as we walked into the place
Looked like we broke out of prison
Buy the look on the face
Of that overdressed, overstuffed, snooty snotty Maitrede’
He didn’t say a word, just pointed to a sign
Said no one gets in here, unless you’re wearing ties
Chorus
Keeping the Riff Raff out
Gotta have standards or all hell breaks out Don’t need writing on the wall to know what it’s all about Keeping the Riff Raff out We were all a little shocked, the girls took it hard My buddy Bill said “I could buy this bar Let’s go somewhere else where they might accept our kind We were drawing a blank until we heard the sound Of a kicking country band, playing two doors down We just went in there and joined the party going on inside Bartender laughed as he poured us some beers Said if you’re gonna wear a tie you can’t come in here. Chorus Bridge Well, two months later, a storm blew that hoity toity place away I guess it’s true the lord works in mysterious ways That’s why St. Peter’s at the Gate
