Doodlin'

Doodlin' Lyrics

(H. Silver/J. Hendricks)

Usin?the phone booth/makin?a few calls
Doodlin?weird things/usin?the booth walls (yeah!)
Got me a big date/waitin?for my chap
A-puttin?his fine on/so he can look dap
I enjoy procrastinatin?æŠause I抦 busy while I抦 waitin?
Doodlin?away/yeah!

Sittin?and dinin?dinner beginin?
Started refinin?usin' the linen
Talkin' to my man/doodlin?my bit
Waiter got salty/told me to please quit
Told the waiter, æ‡on抰 be dizzy/æŠause you see I抦 very busy
Doodlin?away?oh yeah!

Those weird designs
They only show what抯 goin?on in weirdy minds
æ…ause when you doodle then your noodle抯 flyin?high
Everything rushes by might just be a thought
That you caught while coppin?a wink
Doodlin?takes you beyond what you think
And then you draw what you think, yeah!

Later the waiter/had me arrested
Took me to Belleview/where I was tested
Had me a doctor/bought him a noodle
Boy he was handsome/taught him to doodle
Showed him hidden thoughts that linger/find an outlet through your
finger
Doodle away!/oh yeah yeah!

Doctor was real nice/told me to be cool
Looked at the waiter/called him a real fool (yes he did)
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?away/yeah

Oh let抯 doodle baby yeah
A-doodle to the left now
Doodle a little to the right yeah
Alright, doodle to the right, left, right, left
Doodle away! Doodlin?takes you beyond what you think...
