When the Needle Hits the Vinyl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We never saw them holding hands, or kissing all that much Well, they must have loved each other, huh, there were 6 of us Mama held the fort down, while dad he went to work We never thought what she meant to him, or what he meant to her [Pre-Chorus 1] Sometimes on a Saturday, they'd crank up that stereo Grab a stack of old 45 records, and we'd watch 'em put on a show [Chorus] When the needle, hit the vinyl Mama's hair came down, dad he came unwound In their own world, just a boy and girl We couldn't believe our eyes, how they came alive When the needle hit the vinyl [Verse 2] Six kids on a worn out couch, we didn't say a word Ah, Dad he put on "My Girl", and he'd sing it right to her Ah, Mama she was glowing,' 'Cause Dad, he made the perfect moves Neither one of them seemed like the mum and dad we knew [Pre-Chorus 2] They both looked younger, as they went round and around Under the spell of that poppin', cracklin' sound [Chorus] When the needle, hit the vinyl Mama's hair came down, dad he came unwound In their own world, just a boy and girl We couldn't believe our eyes, how they came alive When the needle hit the vinyl [Bridge] Then something happened when they Danced to the slow ones They got this funny look, then said "OK kids it's time for bed" [Chorus] When the needle, hit the vinyl Well, mama's hair came down, dad he came unwound In their own world, just a boy and girl We couldn't believe our eyes, how they came alive [Chorus] When the needle, hit the vinyl Mama's hair came down, dad he came unwound In their own world, just a boy and girl We couldn't believe our eyes, how they came alive When the needle hit the vinyl [Outro] Yeah, when the needle hit the vinyl
