Analysis of Late at night
Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)
Late at night, out of sight.
We had a party,
We boogied, body to body.
When I shouted get down,
we were weaving around.
Yes sir!
You were dancing close to me,
Down we went, you and I,
you kiss me, I laughed and said I must take a pee.
Look and see
Look and see, not at me.
What your name, ya want to play a game,
“no! I do the same
