Sweet Little Lisa
Living by the Golden Rule with Sweet Little Lisa
Lyrics
Well the works whistle blew at a half past five o'clock
Refers to the end of a workday signaled by a whistle at 5:30 PM.
I saw the red light at the corner,
Observing a traffic signal at the corner.
man I never tried to stop
Ignoring traffic rules, possibly due to a rush or urgency.
I got pulled over by the man in blue,
Stopped by a police officer ("man in blue") for a violation.
he said what the hell you're tryin'a do?
The officer questions the driver's actions.
So I told him 'bout my baby and he let me go, thanks a lot
The driver explains about his baby, and the officer lets him go as a favor.
I got invited to a party at a high class Hollywood pool
Invited to an upscale Hollywood pool party.
There were women all around me, man I began to drool
Surrounded by attractive women, causing excitement.
I weighed the evidence in hand,
Considering the available information.
I said girls you got to understand
Expressing to the women the need for understanding.
Since I met my baby I've been living by the golden rule
Since meeting his baby, he follows a virtuous lifestyle.
Oh there ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Confident that no one can make him shout or be overly excited.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Asserting independence, nobody can force him out.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Resisting actions that go against what "sweet little Lisa" does.
sweet little Lisa does
Highlighting the influence of "sweet little Lisa" on his behavior.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
Certain that no one can make him sing (complain).
Make me do the wrong damn thing
Avoiding wrongdoing, guided by the influence of Lisa.
I´m sinking my head in a cold cold stream,
Metaphorically immersing himself in a calm state of mind.
sweet little Lisa does
Attributing this calmness to the influence of "sweet little Lisa."
I was hauling out of Dallas, got pulled over by a debutante
Repeated pattern reinforcing the themes of independence, influence, and adherence to a positive lifestyle guided by "sweet little Lisa."
She was playing with her gearshifts, I was being nonchalant
-She said she'd take me up to her room,
-Keep me following with the Lorna Doones
-I've got a sweet sugar mama gonna give me everything I want
-Cause ain't nobody gonna make me shout
-Ain't nobody gonna put me out
-Ain't nobody gonna make me do
-sweet little Lisa does
-Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
-Make me do the wrong damn thing
-I´m sinking my head in a cold, cold stream,
-sweet little Lisa does
