I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
Somebody told me how the motion picture would end
I turned and glared at them
And then I read the way the world was going to end
With a whimpering sound, not a banging away
I'm sorry I gave it away
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
Break the rules and make a fool of me
Where is that Yankee ingenuity right now
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
La, la, an occupation for you
La, la, an occupation for you
We doctors are important men
We make you feel well again
You open wide and we look in
And throw in several aspirin
La, la, an occupation for you
La, la, an occupation for you
There are soldiers, sailors, stuntmen, jailers,
Jewelers, G-men, unless your Daddy's rich
you need a
La, la, an occupation for you
We athletes run around and round
We moan and groan and hit the ground
And when we get to 35
We sell cosmetics and survive
La, la, an occupation for you
La, la, an occupation for you
There are bodyguards, bouncers, TV announcers,
Farmers, models, unless your Daddy's rich,
you need a
La, la, an occupation for you
We salesmen can sell a storm
We sell your blankets when you're warm
And if you're really, really warm
We'll sell you two, we've got that charm
We pilots take you anywhere
We'll be your father in the air
We'll try to look calm and cool
We're as scared as all of you
There are soldiers, sailors, stuntmen, jailers,
Jewelers, G-men, unless your Daddy's rich,
you need a
Ladies, ladies
Jackie's in the powder room
And Lois Lane will be here soon
Ladies, ladies
Eva braun is cracking jokes
While Joan of Arc just sits and smokes
Ladies, ladies
Then I call up some buddies
Hey, come on over
There's ladies present
"We'll be right over"
The ladies hear me
They're disappearing
They're fading out now
My friends say "where are all the ladies, ladies"
Ladies, ladies
In my kitchen baking cake is Betty Crocker
Ladies, ladies
Dolly Parton's in my pool, and Aunt Jemima's acting cool
Ladies, ladies
They're really great in person
They get me going
But I'm not pushy
Don't want to blow it
'Cause if i blow it
They start a'fading
Come back my ladies
Where would I be without my ladies
I'm not fooling when I say I'm not myself any day
I'm not
In or out or up or down
I'm not
Shutting up or yelling out
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
I'm not buying nothing new and I'm not trying nothing new
No one makes me feel as though it matters what I do
I'm not watching my TV and I'm not reading magazines
And I'm not missing much and that ain't hard for me to see
You're not my type but you can stay, that's long enough, now
Go away
I'm not
In or out or up or down
I'm not
Shutting up or yelling out
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
First I wake up and not shave, not a very pretty day
Look at the time, it's time to not go out to work today
I'm not fooling when I say I'm not myself any day
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
I'll sit and watch the history books get thicker
(forever young, forever...)
I just refuse to be what I'm not this instant
(forever young, forever young)
I'll meet a million girls in a million places
(forever young, forever young)
Forever young, forever young, tonite and every nite
Forever young, forever feeling right
You say I'm playing God, but you're old and wasted
(forever young, forever...)
Bright lights will burn forever and I'll still see them
(forever young, forever young)
I've broken every rule and I'll break this last one
(forever young, forever...)
Goofing off, goofing off
I can do it, do it, do it perfectly
Goofing off, goofing off
It's the only thing I gladly do for free
I'm goin' non-stop for 48 hours
Then I'll collapse right here
Then I'll be scooped up and carried to work
And propped up in a chair
Goofing off, goofing off, goofing off
Plough your way through Monday morning
Plough your way through Tuesday morning
Plough your way through Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday too
Then the world begins to spin and spin and spin
and spin and spin and I become a raving,
raving, ranting fool
We're in the weekend, don't blow it, oh no
Don't blow that two day pass
We're in the weekend, so get up and go
Don't sit down on your ass
Goofing off, goofing off
I can do it, do it, do it perfectly
Goofing off, goofing off
It's the only thing I gladly do for free
I'm goin' non-stop for 48 hours
Then I'll collapse right here
Then I'll be scooped up and carried to work
And propped up in a chair
Goofing off, goofing off, goofing off
Everytime I go to church I just can't think about the Lord at all
Everytime I go to work it seems I'm always walking into walls
It's getting worse and worse and then you pat me on the back
In fifty years you may outgrow it just like that
But until then I got, I got girls on the brain
Girls on the brain, girls on the brain
Boy I'm in pain, they drive me insane
It's really rough when you got, you got girls on the brain
I'll give this hundred dollar bill to anybody who can help at all
Don't everybody shout at once, I guess there's nothing can be done be done at all
It's getting worse and worse but lately I can live with it
I'm starting to enjoy it just a little bit
Like it or not, I got, I got girls on the brain
I tried to find myself this summertime,
I found you instead
And please forgive me Karen, but in June you were kind of dead
But, then we had that three day hot spell
You really turned into a bombshell
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you gor rearranged
September, you're not just a brain
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Lying there, lying there, lying there, getting hot
You know the records that I got in June don't sound good no more
And all the clothes I bought in June are now rotting in my drawers
But you're a different girl, much better
A little redder, but much better
Was it just the heat of the sun
Was it that you had lots of fun
I wish that the summer weren't done
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
Those mysteries
Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know
Those mysteries
I don't even know what I don't even know
Those mysteries
They're hanging around and around and around around
Why is there you
Why is there me
Why does my Mother kiss my Father occasionally
And why am I sore whenever I'm hit
And why is there France
And why is there Spain
And why am I here and why is there rain
And why when I ask my Dad does he say
Go ask your Mom or just go away
And O.K., I'll go away, but they won't go away
Those mysteries
Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know
Those mysteries
I don't even know what I don't even know
Those mysteries
They're hanging around and around and around around
