Doodlin'

Usin' the phone booth

Makin' a few calls

Doodlin' weird things

Usin' the booth walls

Got me a big date

Waitin' for my chick

Puttin' my face on

So she could look slick

I enjoy procrastinating

'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting

Doodlin' away

Doodlin away

Sittin' and dinin'

Dining

Dinner beginnin'

Started designin'

Usin' the linen

Talkin' to my date

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 busy

Doodlin' away

Doodlin' away

Do you doodle all day

Asked 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

Don't know what I can 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 have a doubt

What life is all about

I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'

And I find it real relaxing

'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing

'Cause weird designs

They only show what's going on

In weirder minds

Those 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 see

When you write 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 really really truly 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

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 me he dug her

Got me to doodlin'

So he could bug her

When he put his arms around her

Quite to his surprise he found her

Doodlin' away

Doodlin' away

We just doodle all day
