Well don't come over to my house and push me all around. Oh don't come over to my house and look me up and down.
Your wicked words wont break my bones mean not a thing to me. You keep banging on the door to catch a glimpse of me don't come around.

Well don't come over to my house the curtains have been drawn. Oh don't come over to my house now you have been warned.
Your wicked words don't mean a thing not one thing to me. You keep on banging on the door to catch a glimpse of me don't come around.
Bridge
Well don't come over to my house I soon will be gone. Oh don't come over to my house you'll never right your wrongs.
Your wicked words wont break my bones mean not a thing to me. You keep banging on the door to catch a glimpse of me don't come around.

This reminded me of early Violent Femmes as much as Rockabilly. Though the femmes used a big acoustic bass guitar rather than a slap stand up. I really enjoyed the sound and the narrative. the structure was unusual - but that's cool too. Cool stuff Rob.

A cheerful song (in a way), but I thought you always like people in your house. Did that change? (joke) But I liked the way you sang it, the doubles, the radio-voice. Nicely done! I have one tiny point: The instruments were a bit soft in relation to your voice. Especially the piano. But it could be my ears...

Hello Hans. You are welcome to come over any time. Thanks for the tip on the volume. Rob
Terrific tune . . . love the vibe, the feel, the whole thing . . . some nice production touches throughout (e.g., the “megaphone-like” backing vocal that chimes in from time to time). Really slick . . . and I love the vocal on this one. Loved it!
Yeah this is different and a great use of this style, loved the vocals.. and this is all fitting neatly/tightly on my monitors going for another listen with the headphones now.
Thanks

Rob, the swing/rockabilly feel in this really works well! Just a really neat tune with your standard excellent vocals! That guitar solo was a great choice! Thanks, Torrey

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource.
