Domino Lyrics
I think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best
Oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Say it again
I said oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Say it again
Oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino.
Let's be honest - there is nothing better than Van Morrison screaming "Dig it!" and the breakdown that follows. Coolest thing ever written.
I like how it sounds like a Fats Domino tune, as someone pointed out somewhere, and its called Domino.
A guy saying "roll me over Romeo" definitely sounds a little gay... LOL Lord have mercy...
Nah. Just means Romeo is rollin' him over to take his place beside the gal.

@msmsms Well as Van was very openly bisexual even in those closeted days it was most assuredly about "going both ways" as that what the term "Domino" meant back then! Domino was the gay slang term for being versatile (Top or Bottom) and Van just blended it into meaning going both ways with both genders! And he definitely meant it when he said "roll me over Romeo"!
Domino is a term commonly referring to polar opposites so in the gay community you were either a top, a bottom, or a DOMINO!

I love this song its just so upbeat and fun, and straightforward.
I remember hearing this after one of my youthful romances crashed and burned and thinking at first \'This is a nice tune for a heartbreak.\'\nHearing it again, though, I was like \'Holy sh**!!! I think he\'s singing about a dude!!!!\'\nSubsequently, I found out that this is Van\'s tribute to Fats Domino.
nobody has commented on this song, or pretty much any of the other songs for that matter. My mom loves Van and introduced me to his music. This song is so great, i like the guitar in the beginning, and it makes me think of my old cat named Domino. P.S. - i dont kno what it means, tho, sorry.
Okay, so first of all, I don't want to be attacked by Van fans. I, myself, adore almost anything related to him and I'm sure I'm probably wrong about this. I'm not trying to be homophobic either. You can't even play that card with me, I'm a lesbian, but... okay, I'm just going to go ahead and say it; does this song remind anyone else of gay sex? Because... it reminds me of gay sex. That is all. I'm sorry
Does not remind me of gay sex as I cannot remember gay sex - am I too old????
Sorry Needle, I am just being flippant - no comment on sexuality or sexual preference - just a generally, tongue in cheek comment
Morrison tells you what the song means in the song itself:\n\n“I just want to hear some rhythm and blues music [like Fats Domino]\nOn the radio”\n\nIt has nothing to do with gay sex.
A bit hippy dippy but great backbeat.
hahaha hippy dippy. thas funneyy!
