This song seemed fitting, and it's one of my favorites. :)

Meet me with your Black Drawers On
(Jeannie and Jimmy Cheatham)

Woke up this morning, babe
Reach for the telephone
Woke up this morning,
Reach for the telephone
I got your message baby,
To meet me with your black drawers on

You know I love you baby
You know how to keep me hangin' on
You know I love you baby
You know how to keep me hangin' on
All you have to do is say
"Meet you with my black drawers on"

- solos -

You don't have to worry baby,
I'll never leave you all alone
You don't have to worry,
I'll never leave you all alone
Just call me and tell me baby,
To meet you with my black drawers on

(everybody joins in the chorus:)
Baby, meet me with your black drawers on
Baby, meet me with your black drawers on
...

(until at the end Snooky Young exclaims:)
Baby, meet me with no drawers at all!
 
Well, thank you! I find that often I'm defined by a sad and lonely zero. Luckily it never lasts long.

the song really doesn't translate well with just the lyrics. It's one of the purely dirtiest blues songs I've ever heard. Check it out, if you get the chance.
