Mixing lyrics (if not metaphors) there, Irene.
The phrase "well, it's time to go" is from Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight
Originally performed by the 5 piece doo-wop group The Spaniels and later popularized by Sha Na Na, who used it to close their (thankfully) short-lived TV show:
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you but I really must say,
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you but I really must say,
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.
Well it's three o'clock in the morning
Baby I just can't git right??
Well I hate to leave you baby,
Don't mean maybe,
Because I love you so.
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you but I really must say,
Oh goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.
Mother, and your father
Don't like it if I stay here too long
One kiss in the dark,
And I'll be going,
You know I hate to go.
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you but I really must say,
Oh goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.
The much earlier song (1938), Goodnight, Irene was completely different:
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Well last saturday night I got married,
Me and my wife settled down
Well now me and my wife are parted,
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
(chorus)
Some folks they like their sugar
Some folks they like their wine
Some folks love their music
And they sing it all the time
(chorus)
Stop your rambling, why don't you stop your gambling
Well stop your staying out so late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright
(chorus)
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
If your going to spam the board with trash, at least get your lyrical references correct.
