My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors by Moxy Früvous
My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors
Capo: 4th fret
Intro: C/G (with scat vocals)
C/G F
Well you should see my story-reading baby,
G C/G
you should hear things that she says
C/G F
She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed
G C/G
with Gabriel Garcia Marquez"
Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs,
leave on the light for bell hooks
I been flirtin' with Pierre Burton
'cause he's so smart in his books
CHORUS:
F C
I like to go out dancing
F C
My baby loves a bunch of authors
F C
My heart's so broke and bleeding
G (G)
Baby's just sittin' there doing some reading
|C/G |
So I started watching some TV, played my new CD player too
She said "Turn it off or I'll call the cops,
and I'll throw the book at you"
All this arguing made me get dizzy,
called my doctor to came have a look
I said "Doctor, hurry!",he said:
"Don't worry,I'll be over when I finish my book"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been livin' in hovels
Spendin' all our money on brand new novels
So I got myself on the streetcar
and it drove right into someone
The driver said: "I was looking straight ahead!"
but he was reading the Toronto Sun
So my honey and me go to a counsellor,
to help figure out what we need
She said: "We'll get your love growin',
but before we get goin' here's some
books I'd like you to read"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some friction
'Cos my baby's hooked on short works of fiction
(A Capella verse)
So we split and went to a party,
some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight 'cause it's authors night
and the place looks like a who's who!
Now I'm poundin' the Ouzo - with Mario Puzo
Who's a funny fella? - W.P. Kinsella
Who brought the cat? - would Margaret Atwood?
Who needs a shave? - he's Robertson Davies!
Ondaatje started a food fight,
salmon mousse all over the scene
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing
these writer types are a scream!
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
Eating and sleeping and (x2)
Eating unt sleeping unt
..Turning Pages
Yeaaah.
