Doodlin
Usin' the phone booth, Makin' a few calls, Doodlin' weird things, Usin' the booth walls.
Got me a big date, Waitin' for my cat, Puttin' his vine on, So he can look dap
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 dizzy, 'Doodlin' away?'
'Do doodle all day?' Said 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,' I don't know what to 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 had a doubt What life is all about I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin' And I find it so relaxing 'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Those weird designs They only show what's going on In 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 capture While coppin' a wink Doodlin' takes you beyond what you think Then you draw 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 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
Doctor was real nice, Told me to be cool, Looked at the waiter, Called him the real fool,
Looked at my baby Told him to feel free, Got him to doodlin', So he could bug me,
When he put his arms around me Quite to his surprise he found me Doodlin' a-way
We just doodle all day!
