Doodlin' (Album Version)

Using the phone booth, making a few calls Doodling weird things using the booth walls I got me a big date, waiting for my chick Putting her face on, so she can look slick

I enjoy procrastinating 'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting Doodling away

Sitting and dining, dinner beginning Started designing, using the linen Talking to my date, doodling my bit The waiter got salty, he told me to please quit

Told the waiter, "Don't be dizzy Can't you see I'm very busy Doodling away?"

"Do you doodle all day?" Said the waiter in his way "Do you doodle all night?" Told the waiter he was right "In your doodling way" "That's the way I'm gonna stay" "Are you painting things right? Doodling sheds a lot of light" "Shoo! I don't know what to do"

"Ain't nothing you can do This old doodly you

Doodling's all I want to do Yeah, 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 doodle 'Cause I find it's real relaxing Especially when I find that life is really taxing

Those weird designs

They only show what's going on in weird minds 'Cause when you doodle Then your doodle's fine blind Every little thing that you write Just conceivably might Be a thought that you captured While caught in a wink Doodling takes you beyond what you see And you draw what you think

I feel so lost without my doodling Doodling really helps me ease my mind I'd be tempest-tossed without my doodling When I'm doodling there's one thing I find Truly I've really, truly Want to figure out what my doodling's all about

Later the waiter had me arrested Took me to Bellevue where I was tested Had me a doctor probing my noodle 'Fore he was half done, taught him to doodle Showed him hidden thoughts that linger Find an outlet through your finger

Doodling 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 doodling, so he could bug her When he put his arms around her Quite to his surprise he found her Doodling away

Doodling away Doodling away We just doodle all day
