EFeeling kind of boney On the telephoney Talking to Marconi Eating Rice-A-Roni ANominated for Tony For acting like a phoney EWatching Twilight Zoney On my forty-two inch Sony ThB7is is just a long song It ain't no poem LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
EIt's like sitting in the kitchen When the music's really bitchin' Your nose it starts to itchin' As you count your old age pension DAid I forget to mention The ride that I was hitchin' To the alEuminum convention I had such good intentions KeB7ep you cotton pickin' fingers off my song poem And leEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home. Leave the lights on till you baby gets home. DoAn't forget your toothbrush Your hairbrush and your comb LEeave the lights on till you baby gets home. Got a bB7ig ol' dog A chrome crowbar I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car [E] [A] [E] [B7] [A] [E]
EMe and Billy Shakespeare Stepped out to get a root beer We sat together so near People thought we were queer PunActuated by the big scare We joined the Air Force right there To dEefend our country first class Who couldn't give a rat's ass DoB7n't you tell me that the White House is my home LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home. Leave the lights on till you baby gets home. DoAn't forget your toothbrush Your hairbrush and your comb Leave the lights on till you baby gets home. Got a bB7ig ol' dog A big iron bar I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
EIt's like kissing Greta Garbo With a mouth full of marbles [A] Like trEying to cash a paycheck In the middle of a train wreck B7 LeEave the lights on Leave the lights on
ELike trying to get aroundo In a car made of bondo A Like spEeaking German lingo To a dog named DingoB7 - Plotz!! ELeave the lights on Leave the lights on
ELike a french-fried quesadilla In a franchised pizzeria [A] ELeave the lights on Leave the lights on [B7] A big iron bar I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
