I fell in love with a working girl
Lord, she sure was sweet
I met her down in a red-light tavern
Workin' on Bourbon Street
Way down in the old French Quarter
Bright light side of town
Daytime life sure is cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Some might get the wrong idea
'Bout the kind of man I am
But I bring home my half of the bacon
Pickin' in a guitar band
Love is all my workin' girl brings me
Comin' in off the town
Daytime life sure is cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Love is all that my workin' girl brings me
Comin' in off the town
Daytime life sure is cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down
Livin' with the shades pulled down
I like it
Livin' with the shades pulled down
She likes it, too
Livin' with the shades pulled down
Livin' with the shades pulled down
Livin' with the shades pulled down
