about

This is a Sonny bounce, a jazz/blues in Db, about a weasel I used to know.

lyrics

Some men want to hear three little words, I love you
It’s not about a ring or a long-term thing, just the words, I love you
Well, that’s not me, I want more than three, I need, five little words

Soon as your man is gone, belt out my song, sing baby, the coast is clear
When your husband heads out, just holler or shout, let me know you want me near
Know you’ll make my day, any time you say, baby, the coast is clear

Some women like to flatter, fake compliments you see right through
Some women smile like an angel child, they coo that they’ll always be true
But when I hear, babe, the coast is clear, it’s better than an I love you

If he’s out on his boat, just float me a note, say avast, the coast is clear
If he’s launched on a missile, just give me a whistle, let me know you want me near
No-place I’d rather be, any time you’re free, and say baby, the coast is clear

Well, call anytime in the afternoon, ring me, baby, the coast is clear
Late at night, or in the morning light, let me know and I’ll be right there
I’m ready and able, pick the phone up Mable, just say baby, the coast is clear

Hope you understand, don’t want to meet your man, just want to know, he’s not there
Carve a note on a shingle, or give me a jingle, anyway you can make yourself clear
Can’t keep me away, any time you say, baby, the coast is clear

Kevin Greenwood Woodside, California

I began playing harmonica at 16 and was mentored by James Cotton, Junior Wells, and Louis Myers; getting to play with Magic Sam, Luther Tucker, Hound Dog Taylor and many others; and a personal friend of B.B. King from age 17. After a 35 year “blues retirement”, I'm back playing, here with a band of friends. Musically, this is my “debut at 72”. In my free time I'm a writer and substitute educator. ... more
