Lyrics
TOODLE LOODLE LOO
C. Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr./Mount Misery Music, BMI
V1
We met each other drunk as we could be.
Probing through my lips, your tongue so sweet.
You said that you would call me soon,
And as I layed there, spinning in my room,
We talked until you finally said to me...
CHORUS
Toodle loodle loo, baby I love you.
Toodle loodle loo, and you know that it's true.
Toodle loodle loo lyin' blues.
V2
You brought dresses and curlers here to stay.
And let me keep a portion of my pay.
But when I asked you for some lovin',
You laughed at me with eyes of push and shovin.
Then smiled softly as I heard you say...
CHORUS
V3
Now you've been wanting seperate for some time,
Hoping I would go away or die.
Whispering on the telephone,
When you thought that you were all alone.
You'ld end each call the same way everytime...
CHORUS
V4
Now, lying there with peacefull on your face,
I'm thinking how it all was such a waste.
And as I kiss our last good-bye,
And try to hide the smile as I sigh,
I sing that little ditty in your face...
CHORUS
