Intro:
v v
Well it didn't feel like Sunday
Didn't feel like June
ch /ch
When he met his silent partner
ch /ch
In that lonely corner room
That overlooked the marquee
Of the plaza all-a - dult
ch /ch
And he was not lookin' for romance
ch /ch
Just someone he could trust
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
ch /ch
But he could put up with it for a little while
ch /ch
He was workin' on some - thing big
Speedball rang the night clerk
Said, " Send me up a drink"
ch /ch
Now the night clerk said, "It's Sunday man
ch /ch
Wait a minute, let me think"
"There' a little place out - side of town
Might still have some wine"
ch /ch
Speedball said, "Forget it
ch /ch
Can I have an outside line?"
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
ch /ch
But he could put up with it for a little while
ch /ch
He was workin' on some - thing big
Break:

It was Monday when the day maids
Found the still made bed
ch /ch
All except the pillows
That lay stacked up at the head
And one said, "I know I've seen his face,
I wonder who he is"
ch /ch
And the other said, "Probably it's just another clown
ch /ch
Workin' on some - thing big"
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
ch /ch
But he could put up with it for a little while
ch /ch
He was workin' on some - thing big
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
ch /ch
But he could put up with it for a little while
ch /ch
He was workin' on some - thing big
Outro:
Aahh
some - thing big
