Mr. Goodnight

Mister, mister,
Love U mister

Come on

[Chorus:]
Call Mr Goodnight
He'll make U feel alright
Make U throw Ur head back and holla
So nice, so nice
Better not tell Ur girlfriend
U can try with all Ur might
Just can't keep a secret
'Bout goodnight, goodnight

Hey, baby, hey baby, hey, baby, sitting all alone in my courtyard
Lookin' as if U have every right
All over the world they call me Prince
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

Surely the dandies that escort U places
Imparted a rumour or 2
About the parade of lovely faces
That follow me ... surely they do?

What say U 2 that, lips so inviting
It's all I can do not 2 stare
What say U 2 them, past, present and future
That U don't care (I don't care)

If so, U'll be the first, and I'll give u the keys
2 the whip of Ur dreams, alright?
All over the world they call me Prince (yeah)
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

[Chorus]

Now I don't wanna put to U 2 sleep with a bunch of chatter
And a rap that really don't matter
But now that U know who I am U need 2 make plans
And all Ur other pennies should scatter (scatter)

A limousine about 2 pick U up
And then took U 2 a private jet (2 fine) (yeah)
And then U gonna meet a little Spanish man
Who will offer U wine and Moet

In an hour or 2, U'll be taken to a suite
That will rock all Ur wildest dreams
And on the bed 3 dresses 2 choose 1, pick 1
Then U get a call from me (ring)

Tell me which dress U chose
So I can put on, put on my matching suit
All the real guys hold Ur hands up
U know how Mr Goodnight do it

[Chorus]

I love U baby
I don't want nobody else

Call Mr Goodnight (U can call him) (any time at all)
Call Mr Goodnight (yeah, yeah, yeah) (I love U mister)

MP3: Mike Philly in the band like jams at midnight
Before the main attraction U'll see
Slow it down somewhere here on Earth
Just 2 check how ur reaction be

And if ur heartbeat goes up a notch or 2
There ain't no telling what I might do
I got a mind full of good intentions
And a mouth full of raisenets (better not tell U)

We can watch 'Chocolat' on the big screen
Before we convene in the pool (yeah)
The waterfall'll wash Ur cares away
Already I love U, I do

[Chorus]

The energy in this field's been known to flicker lights, aye
A slip O' me with no rest, acapella moans and a break of sighs (goodnight) (call, call)
Undeterred nevertheless a masterpiece on butterscotch thighs (call, call)
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
It's time for Mr Goodnight

Mr. Goodnight is the sixth track from Prince's 32nd album Planet Earth, and, three weeks after the album's initial release (with the Mail on Sunday newspaper in the UK and Ireland), it was included as the b-side of the promotional single Chelsea Rodgers, available only in the USA.

While specific recording dates are not known, it is likely that initial tracking took place in Spring 2007, most likely at 3121 at The Rio Las Vegas, NV, USA (although possibly at either Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA or Circle House Miami, FL, USA). The song's lyrics refer to listening to the track Somewhere Here On Earth, which is believed to have been recorded in March, 2007, suggesting that Mr. Goodnight was recorded between March and June, 2007. -PrinceVault

Chelsea Rodgers – 5:41

A model... used 2 be a role model

I dunno (Come on, Chelsea!)
I dunno (Come on)
Uh-huh

Ah, go 'head now Chelsea! Go 'head now! (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Huh, this 4 Jersey right here
Go 'head now!
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

CHORUS:
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked the role, yes she did
Kept her tears up in a bottle
She poured them out 2 save your soul (Soul, soul)

Ask her what she liked the most (She say)
She like 2 talk 2 Jimi's ghost, Ow!
Fantasy or bragger's boast (This girl is fly)
Chelsea's fly — like coast 2 coast (Mmmm)

Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (Yes she is)
Earth boots on and flowers in her hair
21st Century hippie, Chelsea don't care (Cuz...)

Chelsea Rodgers was a model (Well...)
But she really rocked the role (Yes she did)
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save your soul

Try 2 catch her if U can (Come on now, 2gether)
But U never see her with one man (Uh, brother got 2 jump in the water)
Cuz they must be baptized according 2 the master plan
'Fore she give up the good thang — Go 'head Chelsea! (Go 'head Chelsea!)

No blood diamonds or designer chic (Uh, no-no!)
'Cuz she's 2 original from her head down 2 her feet
(We can hate) U can hate if U want 2 — Chelsea don't eat no meat
Still got butt like a letter 'C' — go 'head Chelsea! (Go 'head Chelsea!)

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked the role (Yeah)
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save your soul (Soul, soul)

Go'n Chelsea!
Speak on that horns

Come on
Next 2 her they just a fool
Chelsea read more books than a few (Go'n Chelsea!)
Like Moses was a Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty
And Rome was chillin' in Carthage in 33 BCE
And the day that we stop counting, we'll live as long as a tree
Go 'head Chelsea, teach me ... Go 'head Chelsea

Make a promise 2 your higher self
Get true knowledge then fame and wealth
U don't be chasin' nobody's ghost
Of everything, make the most... Come on!

Chelsea Rodgers was a model (Yeah, yeah)
But she really rocked the role (Yeah, yeah)
She kept her tears up in a bottle (Yes she did)
Poured them out 2 save your soul (Save your soul, baby) (Might as well dance)

Chelsea Rodgers was a model (Might as well dance)
But she really rocked the role (Might as well, might as well dance)
She kept her tears up in a bottle (Might as well, might as well dance)
Poured them out 2 save your soul (Let me get some, come wit it, come on) (Might as well)

(Dance) {x4}
(Go on, Chelsea)
(Go 'head) {x3} (Go) {repeated}
(G.B.) {Reference to Greg Boyer}

(Keep that body movin', make that body work) {x2}

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked the role
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save your soul

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Poured them out 2 save your soul

Prince @ the Matthew Williamson Fashion show 9.19.2007

A huge white tent was erected especially for the show in London’s Eaton Square.

Celebrities attending the show which opened almost an hour late included Erin O’Connor, Trudie Styler (Sting’s wife) Donna Air and Daisy Lowe.

The crowd bopped along to the five piece band, whilst Prince’s twin dancers, draped in purple jersey cavorted down the catwalk.

Last night the diminutive musician was among those gathered at the Victoria and Albert Museum for a £1,000 a seat fundraising fashion dinner.

Sometimes (well most times actually) a fashion show isn't just about what you see. What you hear is just as important. Most pre-show noises come from the photographer's pen - usually grumblings and demands for the front row to uncross their legs lest any stray feet appear in their shots. But then there's the show music - and we've heard some very good and some very bad soundtracks this week. The musical winner earlier today was, without a doubt, Matthew Williamson. He had Prince's band playing at the front of his catwalk in a huge white tent erected on Eaton Square. The singer's tiny twin dancers worked the runway in purple - flinging their hair around to Chelsea Rodgers from his latest album. After a couple of bars the man himself leapt up from the front row and started singing live to the spontaneous applause from the entire audience. Then the show started: full marks Matthew. Special mention must also be given to Gareth Pugh who ingeniously chose the theme tune for the original version of The Clothes Show for his catwalk - now we know what he was doing as a young lad in Sunderland at Sunday teatime. Black marks for Eley Kishimoto though, who chose some dreadful screechy fairground music at their much delayed, and disappointing show.
