The Baltimores Songtext

von Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

It's The Baltimores, The Baltimores.
There's a band that can make me shout.
The Baltimores oh they knock me out,
They don't play guitar, they just sing.
They bring their clothes when they sing,
In fact that's all they bring.

There's a band that I try to see,
The Baltimores have a fan in me.
They don't play guitar, they just sing.
They bring their clothes when they sing,
In fact that's all they bring.
Well I'm a glad they came this way,
Well I'm a glad we got 'em.
They won me for good the day they went,
Bo dip doop dee bo dip de wadem.
They sing slow songs and love songs too.
They make me sigh when they sing 'em,
The way I like to do.
And there is a band that affects my soul,
The Baltimores they sing Rock and Roll.
And they play no guitar, they just sing.
They bring their clothes when they play,
In fact that's all they bring.

It's The Baltimores, The Baltimores.
And I'm glad they do things the way they do,
Like
Oooh oooh ...,
They sing slow songs and love songs too.
They make me sigh, when they sing 'em,
The way I like to do.
And there's a band that can make me shout,
The Baltimores how they knock me out.
They don't play guitar, they just sing,
They bring their clothes when they play,
In fact that's all they bring.

It's The Baltimores, The Baltimores.

I walked last night,
Should say I wandered,
I saw the galaxies, and so I pondered,
How I would love to roam there, up there,
Up in the sky sometime.

I saw Saturn, I saw the other planets,
Running their pattern, It looked warm there.
I felt at home there, and I want to roam there,
Up in the sky sometime.
I see a little planet,
Well do you think that one is Jupiter?
Well frankly asked, I walked last night,
I spied a little sattellight.
And oh my baby, let's roam there,
Ooh my darling, we'll find a home there.
Ooh my baby, let's go, up in the sky sometime.

Baby, we could go there, What would it do to roam there.
I feel at home when I'm under the stars.
And I want to roam up there, sometimes.
Well, now I see a little planet.
Do you think that one is Saturn?
Well if it were lonely up there,
We could watch them planets running their pattern.
And oh my baby let's roam there,
And ooh my darling,
?
I like it down here,
But I want to go,
Up in the sky sometime.
Well now, oh my darling go don't you want to go.
Oh my darling, don't you want to go too?
Oh, now, don't you want to go too?
Baby don't you want to wander like I wanna,
Don't you want to go up there, explore.
I wanna play up there, to roam sometimes.
I'd say oh my darling,
We've got to go, got to go.
And oh my darling,
We've got to go, got to go.
Ooh my darling, got to go,
Up there to roam and explore.
I said,
Baby, that's right, I think you want to go there just like I do.
Oh we dreamed, we gotta go there.
And I want to really go there.
That's right, oh my baby, gotta go gotta go.
And oh my darling,
Got to go, got to go.
And something to explore up there,
I think we oughta.
Up in the sky to wander, sometimes.
