| Usin' the phone booth
|
| Makin' a few calls
|
| Doodlin' weird things
|
| Usin' the booth walls
|
| Got me a big date
|
| Waitin' for my chick
|
| Puttin' my face on
|
| So she could look slick
|
| I enjoy procrastinating
|
| 'Cause I’m busy while I’m waiting
|
| Doodlin' away
|
| Sittin' and dinin'
|
| Dinner beginnin'
|
| Started designin'
|
| Usin' the linen
|
| Talkin' to my man
|
| Doodlin' my bit
|
| Waiter got salty
|
| Told me to please quit
|
| Told the waiter, «Don't be dizzy
|
| «Can't you see I’m very busy
|
| «Doodlin' away»
|
| «Do you doodle all day?»
|
| Asked the waiter in his way
|
| «Do you doodle all night?»
|
| Told the waiter he was right
|
| «In your doodlin' way»
|
| «That's the way I’m gonna stay»
|
| «Are you thinkin' things right?»
|
| «Doodlin' sheds a lot of light»
|
| «Don't know what I can do»
|
| «Ain't nothing you can do»
|
| «With old doodlin' you»
|
| «Doodin's all I want to do»
|
| That’s for true!
|
| Why does every single thing I see
|
| Look exactly like a doodle to me?
|
| If I ever have a doubt, what life is all about
|
| I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
|
| And I find it real relaxing
|
| 'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
|
| 'Cause weird designs
|
| They only show what’s going on in weirder minds
|
| Those when you doodle then your noodle’s flying blind
|
| Every little thing that you write
|
| Just conceivably might
|
| Be a thought that you capture
|
| While coppin' a wink
|
| Doodlin' takes you beyond what you see
|
| When you write what you think
|
| I’d feel so lost without my doodlin'
|
| Doodlin' really helps me ease my mind
|
| I’d be tempest-tossed without my doodlin'
|
| When I’m doodlin' there’s one thing I find
|
| Truly, I really really really really really truly truly wanna figure out
|
| What my doodlin’s all about
|
| Later the waiter
|
| Had me arrested
|
| Took me to Bellevue
|
| Where I was tested
|
| Had me a doctor
|
| Probin' my noodle
|
| 'Fore he was half-done
|
| Taught him to doodle
|
| Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
|
| Find an outlet through your finger
|
| Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
|
| Doctor was real nice
|
| Told me to be cool
|
| Looked at the waiter
|
| Called him the real fool
|
| Looked at my baby
|
| Told me he dug her
|
| Got me to doodlin'
|
| So he could bug her
|
| When he put his arms around her
|
| Quite to his surprise he found her
|
| Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
|
| We just doodle all day! |
