The Manhattan Transfer - Doodlin' lyrics
Your rating:
Usin' the phonebooth makin' a few calls Doodlin' weird things usin' the booth walls I go tme a big date I'm waitin' for my cat He's puttin' his light on so he can look dap I enjoy procrastinatin' 'Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin' Doodlin' away Sittin' an' dinin', dinner beginnin' Started desiginin', usin' the linen Jus' talkin' to my man an' doodlin' my bit The waiter got salty, told me ta please quit Told the waiter don't be dizzy Can'tcha see I'm very busy Doodlin' away Do ya doodle all day Asked the waiter in his way Do ya doodle all night Tell the waiter he was right In your doodlin' way That's the way I wanna stay Are you painting things right Doodlin' sheds a lotta light I don't know... what ta do Ain't nothin' you can do When I'm doodlin' you Doodlin's all I wanna do That's for true Why does every little thing I see Look exactly like a doodle ta me If I ever had a doubt what Life is all about I, get my pencil out And then commence to doodlin' And I find it so relaxing Especially when I feel, that my life is really taxing. 'Cause weird designs weird designs They only show what's goin' on in Weirder minds weirder minds 'Cause when you doodle Then your noodle's flying blind Every little thing that you write Just conceivably might Be a thought, that you captured While capping a wink Doodlin' takes you beyond whatcha think Then ya draw whatcha think I'd be so lost without my doodlin' It really helps to ease my mind I'd be tempest tossed without my doodlin' 'Cause when I'm doodlin' there's one thing I find I really, I really, really truly wanna figure out What my doo dlin's all about Later the waiter had me arrested Took me ta Bellevue where I was tested I got me a doctor probin' my noodle Before he was half done, I taught him ta doodle Showed him hidden thoughts that linger Findin' out right through your finger... Doodlin' away... The doctor was real nice told me ta be cool Looked at the waiter, called 'im the real fool. He looked at my baby an' told 'im to feel free Taught him ta doodle so he could bug me When he put his arms around me Much to his surprise he found me Doodlin' away Doo-doo-doodle all day Gotta doodle baby
