doodlin'
manhattan transfer, the
usin' the phonebooth makin' a few calls
doodlin' weird things usin' the booth walls
i go tme a big date i'm waitin' for my cat
he's puttin' his light on so he can look dap
'cause i'm busy while i'm waitin'
jus' talkin' to my man an' doodlin' my bit
told the waiter don't be dizzy
can'tcha see i'm very busy
asked the waiter in his way
tell the waiter he was right
that's the way i wanna stay
are you painting things right
doodlin' sheds a lotta light
why does every little thing i see
look exactly like a doodle ta me
if i ever had a doubt what
and then commence to doodlin'
and i find it so relaxing
that my life is really taxing. 'cause weird designs weird designs
they only show what's goin' on in
weirder minds weirder minds
then your noodle's flying blind
every little thing that you write
doodlin' takes you beyond whatcha think
then ya draw whatcha think
i'd be so lost without my doodlin'
it really helps to ease my mind
i'd be tempest tossed without my doodlin'
'cause when i'm doodlin' there's one thing i find
really truly wanna figure out
what my doo dlin's all about
later the waiter had me arrested
took me ta bellevue where i was tested
i got me a doctor probin' my noodle
showed him hidden thoughts that linger
findin' out right through your finger. doodlin' away. the doctor was real nice told me ta be cool
called 'im the real fool. he looked at my baby an' told 'im to feel free
taught him ta doodle so he could bug me
when he put his arms around me
much to his surprise he found me
