An evening,I was drinkin' beer talking with myself
A staff put a record jacket I didn't know on "Now Playing" shelf
I ordered one more can of beer
I felt that outside it started to shower
I walked along and opened the door
A stripe of yellow sunlight entered through the door
Sustain of organ and horns made me feel funny
It was the first time I hear the sound of Shirley
