lyrics

Salem, Oh Salem!
If it were up to me
You'd never work again
And I would have your time for free
I'd give you all my blood, My sweat
And my hard earned money
So you never ever have to keep another "John" company
And be with me.

The Vibe Is Too Electric To Ignore
I Could possess your heart, I'm sure
I'm gonna build you a Library with all the books you can read
Gonna Publish Your Writing, Girl, In Every Magazine

Salem, Oh Salem!
If it were up to me
You'd never work again
And I would have your time for free
I'd give you all my blood, My sweat
And my hard earned money
So you never ever have to keep another "John" company
And be with me.

I wrote a poem for you
"Well, I Know you Keep Different Guys
To Maximize Profit and Validity
Well, You're in luck cause I got a few bucks
And multiple personalities
I Know you Ain't Easy
I Know you Ain't Sleazy
I Know I Sound Like Johnny Cash
We can do it the old fashioned way
Or I can do you in the
" AAAAAYYYYY"
Well Now That I Got Your Attention, Folks
Repeat after me

Turn Off The Red Light
Step Into My Life
Everything Will Be Alright,

I Said Turn Off The Red Light
Step Into My Life
Everything Will Be Alright,

Turn Off The Red Light
Step Into My Life
Everything Will Be Alright

Alright Alright Alright

I Said Turn Off The Red Light
Step Into My Life
Everything Will Be Alright
I Said Turn Off The Red Light
Salem, Oh Salem!
If it were up to me
You'd never work again
And I would have your time for free
I'd give you all my blood, My sweat
And my hard earned money
So you never ever have to keep another "John" company
And be with me.
And Be With Me
And Be With Me
Ahhhhh Yea!!!

Salem, Oh Salem!
If it were up to me
You'd never work again
And I would have your time for free
I'd give you all my blood, My sweat
And my hard earned money
So you never ever have to keep another "John" company
And be with me.
Yeah, you know, Think About It
Give Me A Call
