Usin' the phone booth
Makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things
Usin' the booth walls

Got me a big date
Waitin' for my chick
Puttin' my face on
So she could look slick

I enjoy procrastinating
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waiting
Doodlin' away, doodlin away

Sittin' and dinin' (dining)
Dinner beginnin'
Started designin'
Usin' the linen

Talkin' to my date
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?
Asked 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
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 real relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!

'Cause weird designs
They only show what's going on
In weirder minds
Those 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 really really truly 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 he dug her
Got me to doodlin'
So he could bug her

When he put his arms around her
Quite to his surprise he found her
Doodlin' away, doodlin' away

We just doodle all day!
