What's goin' on here

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Ian Paice and David Coverdale

Roll me over slowly I've been drinkin' all night
Help me make a move, I can't stand the light
Wake me, shake me, don't slam the door
I ain't been so bad, I just can't recall
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame
Lyin' on the floor, I can't remember her name

I can't stay here
There's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?

Went downtown, had a long way to go
How I got there? Well, I don't know
Found myself sittin' in a west side bar
Mmm tried to leave but I could not go far
High class woman tryin' to give me a line
Should have left early when I felt so fine

I can't stay here
There's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?

When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead
I can't remember a thing I said
Must have called the police to take me away
They said forty days, now I've got to pay
Spent the night chasin' up a listed old flame
Lyin' on the floor, I can't remember my name
I can't get together while they're messin' with me
Keep on lookin' 'round, tell me where can I be?

I can't stay here
There's something wrong here
What's goin' on here?
