Kojak Variety

The very thought of you
And i forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem to me
That's everything

The mere idea of you
The longing year for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Till i'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
Your eye in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love

The mere idea of you
The longing year for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Till i'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
Your eye in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love

Let's go out on the town tonight
My pockets are heavy with loot
And get drunk and blasted
(and loud in your dress of blue)

I've been living from hand to mouth
It must be three or four weeks
And i can tell you one thing jack
You listen when your stomach speaks

I feel good just like i knew that i would
And all on account of that wine that i bought today
I'm smiling so sweet
At every little girl that i meet
Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money
I think i feel like dancing the night away
I think i feel like dancing the night away

I got me this long legged girl
To help me to spend my dough
Her heart as big as your mama's stove
And her body like brigitte bardot

I'm all ready for some rock and roll
With the guitar turned up loud
And the fancy footwork
And the (drunk) down, druged up crowd

I feel good just like i knew that i would
All on account of that wine that i bought today
I'm smiling so sweet
At every little girl that i meet
Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money
I think i feel like dancing the night away
I think i feel like dancing the night away

How many wrinkles in a pickle
How many hairs in a head
How many waves in the ocean
How many crumbs in bed
But last but not least, but baby most of all
Why do i mmmumble everytime you call

Chorus

Because you're strange to me baby
Oh, you're good to me mama
Well, i admit you are strange
But baby please don't change
I know i belong with you

How many bubbles in soap
How many chewings in gum
How many rolls in a wheel
Where did eyeballs come from
But last but not least
But baby most of all
Why do i mmmumble everytime you call

(chorus)

How many blanks in a blanket
How many cuts in a knife
How strong is a bedbug
And how deep is his bite
But last but not least
But baby most of all
Why do i mmmumble everytime you call

(chorus)

Stange you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye
Strange you got five double chins...???
Strange your knees look like the knees on a billy goat
Strange you got two left legs ...???
Strange there's something wrong with you i don't know what it is
Strange i'm gonna leave you alone, gonna leave you like this

You push me when i'm falling
And then you put me down
I guess i missed my calling
I should have been a clown

How much more
How much more can i stand
You're pouring water
On a drowning man

You put me on the right track
And then you put me down
You stab me in the back
Everytime i turn around

Criticize my lovin'
When i'm doing the very best i can
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You treat me like
The fool that i am
You bet that i like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true

You warm me with your kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can i know your wishes
When i've never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're pouring water
On a drowning man

You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You treat me like
The fool that i am
You bet that i like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true

You warm me with your kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can i know your wishes
When i've never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're pouring water
On a poor drowning man

I got tears in my eyes
Oh, i'm a drowning man
I got tears in my eyes
You're pouring water
On a drowing man
You're pouring water
On a poor drowning man

I can't believe the things i've seen
I wonder bout some things i've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as long as there's business first
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenier

People running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war

Straight ahead
Knock em dead
Pack your kid
Choose your hypocrite

Well you don't have to go to off broadway
To see something played absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word

Her lips are sweet
Her legs are big
Her looks can make you
Dance the jig
Her touch is so soft
Her heart is so warm
What knocks me out
Is your hidden charms

Her voice is so soft
Her love is so true
I think about her
That's all i do
She's weak and wanton
In my arms
What moves me darling
Is your hidden charms

When i hold you
In my arms
Brings out all of your
Hidden charms

Her kiss is so pure
As the morning dew
A real gone love
Is exciting too
Her eyes that talk
They say "c'mon"
What kills me baby
Is your hidden charms

When i hold you
In my arms
Brings out all of your
Hidden charms

The night we met
The night that i won't forget
You've seen what i've been waiting for
But baby, i've been wrong before

You held me tight
And everything seemed just right
I couldn't ask for more
But baby, i've been wrong before

She used to smile at me
And hold my hand like you do
Then she left me
And broke my heart in two

See her face
And feel your warm embrace
You're all that i adore
But baby, i've been wrong before
Oh baby, i've been wrong before

Sure you haven't got the wrong number
Sure it's me you want to talk to tonight
Everyone in town's got your number
Everyone in town's got you pegged just right

Is that why you got in touch with me
I guess you must be running out of fools

Even when you left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
You didn't care that you left me there crying
Now you wanna break my heart twice

Is that why you got in touch with me
I guess you must be running out of fools

I guess you got back to my name in your little black book
Hey guess what i bet you forgot how i even look
So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it will do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
Then i'm gonna hang right up on you

Cause this time you're not getting through to me
I guess you must be running out of fools

Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I guess you're running out of fools
Even fools like me
