[Sample: 78rpm crackle, distant static] [Spoken sample - midnight DJ dedication] He asked us to play it... just once. [Instrumental - lone electric guitar arpeggio, 1941 vocal-group ballad begins, warm mono] [Verse 1 - tender high tenor croon, slow] Some fellas bring you roses Some fellas bring you pearls I've got just one gift, darling And I'll give it to the world I only want to keep you warm [Verse 2 - four-part harmonies humming underneath] I've waited in the cellar So patient, so polite Ten thousand quiet evenings Just dreaming of our night I only want to keep you warm [Spoken bridge - deep bass voice, tender, classic vocal-group talking bridge] Honey... don't you cry. When you see me coming... it'll be just like the sunrise. Only closer. Only once. [Verse 3 - croon returns, strings sighing] They never let me dance, dear They keep me under ground But darling, when they call my name I won't make a sound So hold your breath and count to ten I'll be in your arms by then I only want to keep you warm [Outro - harmonies repeat 'keep you warm' as the record slows, tape drags, dissolves into geiger clicks and crackle] Keep you warm... keep you warm... keep you warm... [Sample: needle stuck in runout groove, faint geiger clicks]
