2017 The Life and Times of The Temptations Ain't Too Proud the Musical - In the Still of the Night/ Speedo Lyrics
Performed by Derrick Baskin (Otis Williams).
OTIS: (spoken) But first I had to get the right group
OTIS WILLIAMS & THE DISTANTS: In the still of the night I held you, held you tight 'Cause I love, love you so Promise I’ll never let you go In the still of the night (In the still of the night)
OTIS: (spoken) I had my own band, Called Otis Williams and the Distants Was me, a fella named Elbridge Bryant, That we called "Al", James Crawford and Vernard Plain But soon it was just me and Al, And I needed to find some other fellas Lot's of folk sang doo-wop on street corners But not everybody had a good bass This fella named Melvin Franklin, Who went to school with me though
ROSE: (spoken) May I help you?
OTIS: (spoken) Hi there ma'am, my name is Otis Williams I’m coming to start a singing group, And I was wondering if you will give Melvin permission to be in it with me
ROSE: (spoken) I don't want Melvin out here running around, Getting into no mess I want him to stay in school
OTIS: (spoken) Yes ma'am, but your son is one of the best bass singers I've ever heard around school or anywhere else I believe we can make great music together
ROSE: (spoken) If I let Melvin join this group, I'm holding you personally responsible for the outcome, Otis Williams I want him to stay on the right path, You understand that?
OTIS: (spoken) I do
ROSE: (spoken) Well then do me a favor, Tell my son he can stop hiding behind that tree! 'Cuz I'm saying yes
OTIS WILLIAMS & THE DISTANTS: I remember that night in May (I remember, I remember) The stars were bright above (I remember, I remember) I'll hope and I’ll pray (I remember, I remember) To keep your precious love
OTIS: (spoken) Meanwhile, these other two fellas around school had themselves a singing group, And I had my eye on them They called themselves the Primes
THE PRIMES: Bom-bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do Bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do
EDDIE: Well now, they often call me Speedoo But my real name is Mr. Earl Hm
THE PRIMES: Bom-bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do Bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do
EDDIE: Now, they often call me Speedoo But my real name is Mr. Earl
Now, some may call me Joe Some may call me Moe Just remember, Speedoo He don’t never take it slow
THE PRIMES: Bom-bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do Bom-bom-bom Ba-ba-do-do-do
EDDIE: Well now, they often call me Speedoo But my real name is Mr. Earl Hm
THE PRIMES: Ba-ba-do-do-do
