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/’cause you see I’m very busy
Doodlin’ away”/oh yeah!

Those weird designs
They only show what’s goin’ on in weirdy minds
‘Cause when you doodle then your noodle’s flyin’ high
Everything rushes by 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, left
Doodle away! Doodlin’ takes you beyond what you think...
