Lay Your Head On My Shoulder

by Michael Hacker

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold my wrist real tight, baby
Hope my form is right
Show me... your iriminage, too

Strike me yokomenuchi
Won't you hit me once, baby
Just a little tap, maybe
You'll go falling to the ground

People say that leading ki
Is a game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it someday
And then this uke with rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Kuzushi to the rear, baby
Slapping sounds I hear
Tell me, tell me that you hear them too

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, "Yame"
Words I want to hear, uke
Put your head on my shoulder
