"Babydoll" lyrics
"Babydoll"
I don't know about your brain
But mine is really bossy
I come home from a day on the golf course
And I find all these messages
Scribbled on wrinkled up scraps of paper
And they say thing like:
Why don't you get a real job?
Or: You and what army?
Or: Get a horse
And then I hear this voice
Coming from the back of my head, uh huh
(Whoa-ho) Yep! It's my brain again
And when my brain talks to me, he says:
Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the park
Take me to the movies
'Cause I love to sit in the dark
Take me to Tahiti
'Cause I love to be hot
And take me out on the town tonight
'Cause I know the new hot spot. He says:
Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll, ooo He says:
Babydoll! I love it when you come when I call
Babydoll! You don't have to talk I know it all
Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll, ooo
Well, I'm sitting around trying to write a letter
I'm wracking my brains trying to think
Of another word for horse
I ask my brain for some assistance
And he says: Huh... Let's see... How about cow?
That's close. He says:
Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the park
Take me to the movies
'Cause I love to sit in the dark
Take me to your leader
And I say: Do you mean George?
And he says: I just want to meet him
And I say:
Come on I mean I don't even know George!
And he says:
Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll, ooo He says:
Babydoll! I love it when you come when I call
Babydoll! You don't have to talk I know it all
Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll, ooo
Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo
Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo
Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo

Robert Palmer - "Woke Up Laughing" I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face
On the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing

I broke into a run
You were hot on my heels
So I hired a gun

Thomas Dolby - "The Flat Earth" The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small
But it's home and all I ever had
And maybe why for me the Earth is flat

Missing Persons - "Destination Unknown" Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know
You ask yourself

Warren Zevon - "Splendid Isolation" I want to live alone in the desert
I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe

And never go down in the street

A mystery band in a New York way
Rock and roll but not like the rest
And to me America at its best
How in the world were they making that sound?
