Using the phone booth, makin' a few calls Doodlin', whiffin', usin' the booth walls, yeah
Got me a big date, waitin' for my chance
Puttin' this vine on, so he can look down
I enjoy procrastinatin'
Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin'
Doodlin' away, yeah
Sittin' on dinin', dinner beginnin'
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 only show what's goin' on
In witty minds, cause when you doodle
Then your noodles fly up high
Everything else is right, just might be a thought
That you captured while coppin' away
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you think
And then you draw what you think, yeah
Later the waiter had me arrested
Took me to Bellevue, where I was tested
Held me a doctor, bought him a noodle
Boy was handsome, taught him to doodle
Showed him heathen thoughts, but linger by
Then I let 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
Doodle to the left now
Doodle a little to the right, yeah
Doodle to the right, left, right, left
Doodle away
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you think
