He's So Typical

Lyrics by Dale, Music by Robert Brookins)

Constant impressions and plenty of will
Time and time again secrets filter through

There's roses in the bathtub and he's still asleep
Wonder to myself, my secrets will he keep?
Playing poker in the dark (with one eye open)
Gamblin' with my heart (and now he's hopin')
oh, he's so..He's so typical
He's so typical..

Waltzing in the shadows with blue overtones
Does my freedom show, but how could he have known?
No smoking in the boys' room with black leather gloves
Then up jumped the moon and out walked the love

No smoking in the boys room
Then out jumped the moon
And out walked the love





He's so typical, tip tip tippee...[etc...fade...human trumpet solo

Overall Meaning

The song "He's So Typical" by Dale and Robert Brookins is a tale of a woman wondering if her secrets are safe with the man she is with. The first verse speaks of her constant impressions and strong will, but secrets still manage to filter through. As she stews on this, she finds roses in the bathtub and wonders if the man will keep her secrets or not. The chorus then chimes in, stating that the man she is with is so typical, playing poker with one eye open and gambling with her heart.


The second verse goes on to describe the woman waltzing in the shadows with blue overtones. She wonders if her freedom is showing, but questions how the man could have possibly known. The lyrics then transition to an image of the boys' room with no smoking and black leather gloves, and out of nowhere, the moon jumps up and love walks out. The chorus repeats with the same lyrics, but this time includes a human trumpet solo towards the end before fading out.


Overall, the song speaks to the idea that even when you're with someone and feel close to them, there's always a question of how much they truly know about you and if they're keeping your secrets safe.

Thanks! SIT ... have little wood carving that says that. Someone asked, "What is SIT?" ... I have the main answer, plus a backup ... "Why, SIT means 'stay in touch' --- with the man upstairs..." --- strumming and staying in touch ... God bless you lots! -Dale R. 😁
