Strike While It’s Hot Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks (Ft. Bette Midler)

[Hicks] When that picture gets off that curve ball
[Miller] Does that mean that there was no ball at all?
When the preacher catches you asleep
[Hicks] Does that mean that you're some kind of a creep?

[Together] When you standin' on the corner
Actin' like a stupid loner waitin' for a bus
But the bus'll pass you by
And you couldn't catch a tie
And you can bite its dust

[Miller] When you wish that's all that it could be
[Together] And your reach out for somethin' so impatiently
[Hicks] And your days turn into months on end
[Miller] It's time to flip the station to start up again (?)

[Together] Time to roll over, see what other tricks you got
Time to move over, let the new guy take a shot
Strike it while it's hot
'Cause later there might not
Be any room for thought

Do do do-do...

[Hicks] When the rainclouds pass and it stays dry
[Together] Does that mean that there was no clouds up in the sky?
[Miller] And when the rain comes back and it pours good
[Togther] Does that mean that you're finally understood?
