A letra:
Let me put
my arms around your head
(Dom do ah) Gee, it's hot, let's go to
bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll
be alright
(Dom do ah)
Pour me out another phone
(Dom do ah) I'll ring and see if your
friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend
us a book we can read up alone
And try to get it on
like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and
scored
Like the video films we saw
His name was always
buddy (got got do ah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd
sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah)
And turn her face
away
She's uncertain if she
likes him (got got do ah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves
him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got do ah)
It's a
drive-in Saturday
Jung the foreman prayed
at work (dom do ah)
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's
hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation
Cursing at the
astronette
(Dom do ah) who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's
crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau supply for aging men
With
snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raised a sea that
raged no more
Like the video films we saw
His name was always
buddy (got got do ah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd
sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah)
And turn her face
away
She's uncertain if she
likes him (got got do ah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves
him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got do ah)
It's a
drive-in Saturday
His name was always
buddy (got got do ah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd
sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah)
And turn her face
away
She's uncertain if she
likes him (got got do ah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves
him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got do ah)
It's a
drive-in Saturday, yeah, yeah
It's a, it's a, it's a
drive in Saturday (It's a drive-in Saturday)
It's a, it's a, it's
a, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir,
Yes sir
(It's a
drive-in Saturday) dom do do do, dom do do do
(It's a drive-in
Saturday) dom do do da, dom do do da
(It's a drive-in Saturday)
yes sir
(It's a drive-in Saturday)
