"Smoke Rings" lyrics

"Smoke Rings"
(from "Home Of The Brave" soundtrack)

Standby
You're on the air
Buenos noches Senores y Senoras
Bienvenidos
La primera pregunta es: Que es mas macho, pineapple o knife?
Well, let's see
My guess is that a pineapple is more macho than a knife
Si! Correcto! Pineapple es mas macho que knife
La segunda pregunta es: Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?
Uh, lightbulb?
No! Lo siento, Schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb
Gracias. And we'll be back in un momento

Well, I had a dream and in it I went to a little town
And all the girls in town were named Betty
And they were singing: Doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo

Ah desire! It's cold as ice and then it's hot as fire
Ah desire! First it's red and then it's blue
And everytime I see an iceberg it reminds me of you
Doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo

Que es mas macho iceberg or volcano?
Get the blanket from the bedroom
We can go walking once again
Down in the bayou
Where our sweet love first began

I'm thinking back to when I was a child
Way back to when I was a tot
When I was an embryo
A tiny speck. Just a dot
When I was a Hershey bar
In my father's back pocket

Hey look! Over there!
It's Frank Sinatra sitting in a chair
And he's blowing perfect smoke rings up into the air
And he's singing: Smoke makes a staircase for you to descend
So rare

Ah desire!
Ah desire!
Ah desire!
So random, so rare
And everytime
I see those smoke rings
I think you're there

Que es mas macho staircase o smoke rings?
Get the blanket from the bedroom
We can go walking once again
Down in the boondocks
Where our sweet love first began

Ooh, I'm gonna follow you
Out in the swamps and into town
Down under the boardwalk
Track you down

Doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo doo
