Get Off of My Cloud (Live 1966) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I live on an apartment
On the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy
All dressed up just like the Union Jack
And says, "I've won five pounds
If I have his kind of detergent pack"

[Chorus]
I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby"

[Verse 2]
The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me, who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doing fine
It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever want to go to bed
And then he said "because you feel so good
You have to drive me out of my head"
[Chorus]
I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around any more, two's a crowd
On my cloud baby"

[Verse 3]
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
'Cause it was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out
I was so tired, I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag
Stuck on my window screen

[Chorus]
I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby"

[Outro]
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud"
I said "hey, you, get off of my cloud"
I said "don't hang around, baby two's a crowd
On my cloud"
[Audience Applause]
