Leave the Lights on |
Feeling kind of bony |
On the telephoney |
Talking to Marconi |
Eating Rice-a-Roni |
Nominated for a Tony |
For acting like a phoney |
Watching Twilight Zoney |
On my forty-two inch Sony |
This is just a long song |
It ain’t no poem |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
It’s like sitting in the kitchen |
When the music’s really bitchin' |
Your nose it starts to itchin' |
As you count your old age pension |
Did I forget to mention |
The ride that I was hitchin' |
To the Aluminum convention |
I had such good intention |
Keep your cotton pickin' fingers off |
My song poem |
And leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Don’t forget your toothbrush |
Your hairbrush and your comb |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Got a big ol' dog |
A chrome crowbar |
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car |
Me and Billy Shakespeare |
Stepped out to get a root beer |
We sat together so near |
People thought we were queer |
Punctuated by the big scare |
We joined the Air Force right there |
To defend our country first class |
Who couldn’t give a rat’s ass |
Don’t you tell me that the White House is my home |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Don’t forget your toothbrush |
Your hairbrush and your comb |
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home |
Got a big ol' dog |
A big iron bar |
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car |
It’s like kissing Greta Garbo with a mouth full of marbles |
Like trying to cash a paycheck in the middle of a train wreck |
Leave the lights on |
Leave the lights on |
Like trying to get aroundo in a carmade of bondo |
Like speaking German lingo to a dog named Dingo — Plotz! |
Leave the lights on |
Leave the lights on |
Like a French fried quesadilla |
In a franchised pizzeria |
Leave the lights on |
Leave the lights on |
A big iron bar |
I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car |
