Usin' the phone booth
Makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things
Usin' the booth walls
Got me a big date
Waitin' for my cat
Putting his shine on
So he can look dap
I enjoy procrastinatin'
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting,
Doodlin' away, 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, doodlin' away»
«Do you 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 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 so relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
'Cause weird designs
They only show what's going on
In weirder minds
'Cause 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 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 him to be free
Got me to doodlin'
So he could bug me
When he put his arms around me
Quite to his surprise he found me
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away
We just doodle all day!
