Doodlin'

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

Got me a big date
Waitin' for my cap
Puttin' his fine on
So he can look dap

I enjoy procrastinatin'
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin'
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, doodle all day
Said 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
I don't know what to do
Ain't nothing you can do
With old doodlin' you
Doodlin'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 had a doubt
What life is all about
I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
And I find it so relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing

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

Everything little thing that you write, just conceive, or it might be a thought
That you caption while coppin' a wink
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you see
Then you draw what you think, yeah

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, 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
Brought me my noodle
For it was half done
Taught him to doodle

Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Find an outlet through your finger
Doodlin' away

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

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
We just doodle again
