See What I Wanna See Songtext

von Michael John LaChiusa

Friday night, down on Houseton
In a spot called 'Bamboo Jack's'
Everyone was doing the mambo
And drinking Golden Cadillacs

Sally was there with her Daddy
But Daddy was in a funk
Sally met up with, and took a shy
To a hunk from East Podunk

And Daddy cried, "Hey, what you doing, what you doing?
What's he got I don't got?
All I see is American Cheese
He'll melt when you get hot!"

And Sally said, "I see what I wanna see
I know what I wanna know
I don't need you to tell me what's true
If you don't like it, Daddy, you can blow, blow, blow, blow, blow!"

Saturday night, at the same place
They roll out the bamboo rug
Everyone was doing the limbo
Except for Sally and her Podunk plug

Caesar took a shy to some chicken
Shaking her tom-tom-tom
Sally saw that, and "Guacamo!"
She exploded like hydrogen bomb!

She cried, "Hey hey, what you doing, what you doing?
What's she got that I lack?
That chicken is thin
And meaner than sin
And uglier than Bamboo Jack!"

And he said, "I see what I wanna see
I know what I wanna know
I don't need you to tell me what's true
If you don't like it, baby, you can blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow..."

I see what I wanna see
I know what I wanna know
I don't need you to tell me what's true
If you don't like it, baby, baby, baby, b-b-baby, you can blow!
