The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
One, two, three
The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight
One, two, three
The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight
If I was ready, willing and able
That's right, you got it, Ruth
Here we go
One, two
We should give those licks numbers
Here we go
One, two, three
The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight
If I was ready, willing and able
To pay him his regular fee
You need to put the "peek-a-boo" in there
If I was ready, willing and able
To pay him his regular fee
That's it
The blues, Ruth, this is the blues
One, two, three, four
The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
To reach nirvana tonight
If I was ready, willing and able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote his attention to me
But I said
Look here brother
Who you jivin'?
How about that?
Look here brother
Well, what's the difference?
It's the blues, Ruth. You know?
The sadness, the inner turmoil
On the harmony part
Two, three
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
That's cool
That is so cool
Do it again
Look here brother
One, two, three, four
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Look here brother
That's right
Well, those days are gone forever, Ruth
On the beginning of "Look here brother"
Two, three, four
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Look here brother
Two, three, four, one, two, three, four
Who you're jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Okay. One, two, three
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Look here brother
Alright, from the beginning
One, two, three, four
The mystery man came over
And he said, "I'm out of site"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight
If I was ready, willing and able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote his attention to me
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Look here brother
Don't you waste your time on me
Well, the mystery man got nervous
And he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe
And he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
And a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
And the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said, "You might not believe this, little fella
But it'll cure your asthma too"
But I said
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Look here brother
Don't you waste your time on me
And you can't help me out
So take your meditations and your preparations
And ram it up your snout
"But I've got a chrystal ball", he said
And he held it to the light
So I snatched it all away from him
And I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos
Then I told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings and pocket watch
And everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around
I said, "The price of meat has just gone up
And your old lady has just gone down"
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Now what kind of a guru are you anyway?
Don't you know you could make more money as a butcher
So don't you waste your time on me
