Usin' the phone booth
Makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things
Usin' the booth walls
Got me a big date
Waitin' for my chick
Puttin' my face on
So she could look slick
I enjoy procrastinating
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting
Doodlin' away
Sittin' and dinin'
Dinner beginnin'
Started designin'
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"
"Do you doodle all day?"
Asked the waiter in his way
"Do you doodle all night?"
Told the waiter he was right
"In your doodlin' way"
"That's the way I'm gonna stay"
"Are you thinkin' things right?"
"Doodlin' sheds a lot of light"
"Don't know what I can do"
"Ain't nothing you can do"
"With old doodlin' you"
"Doodin's all I want to do
That's for true!"
Why does every single thing I see
Look exactly like a doodle to me?
If I ever have a doubt, what life is all about
I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
And I find it real relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
'Cause weird designs
They only show what's going on in weirder minds
Those when you doodle then your noodle's flying blind
Every little thing that you write
Just conceivably might
Be a thought that you capture
While coppin' a wink
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you see
When you write what you think
I'd feel so lost without my doodlin'
Doodlin' really helps me ease my mind
I'd be tempest-tossed without my doodlin'
When I'm doodlin' there's one thing I find
Truly, I really, really, really, really
Really truly, truly wanna figure out
What my doodlin's all about
Later the waiter
Had me arrested
Took me to Bellevue
Where I was tested
Had me a doctor
Probin' my noodle
'Fore he was half-done
Taught him to doodle
Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Find an outlet through your finger
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
Doctor was real nice
Told me to be cool
Looked at the waiter
Called him the real fool
Looked at my baby
Told me he dug her
Got me to doodlin'
So he could bug her
When he put his arms around her
Quite to his surprise he found her
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
We just doodle all day!
