Doodlin' Songtext

von Sarah Vaughan

Usin' the phone booth
Makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things
Usin' the booth walls, yeah

Got me a big date
Waitin' for my chap
A-puttin' his fine on
So he can look dap

I enjoy procrastinatin'
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin'
Doodlin' away, yeah

Sittin' and dinin'
Dinner beginin'
Started refinin'
Usin' the linen

Talkin' to my man
Doodlin' my bit
Waiter got salty
Told me to please quit

Told the waiter, don't be dizzy
Can't you see I'm very busy
Doodlin' away, oh yeah

Those weird designs
They always show what's goin' on in weirdy minds
'Cause when you doodle then your noodle's flyin' high

Everything rushes by right
Might just be a thought
That you caught while coppin' a wink

Doodlin' takes you beyond what you think
And then you draw what you think, yeah

Later the waiter
Had me arrested
Took me to belleview
Where I was tested

Had me a doctor
Bought him a noodle
Boy he was handsome
Taught him to doodle

Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Find an outlet through your finger
Doodle away, oh yeah, yeah

Doctor was real nice
Told me to be cool
Looked at the waiter
Called him a real fool, yes he did

Looked at my baby
Told him to feel free
Got him to doodlin'
So he could bug me

When he put his arms around me
Quite to his surprise he found me
Doodlin' away, yeah

Oh let's doodle baby, yeah a doodle to the left now
Doodle a little to the right, yeah alright
Doodle to the right, left, right or left and doodle away
