From the recording Early
Lyrics
VERSE
I was tryin’ my best to get to second base
But it was lookin’ like more than ninety feet
She pulled away, looked me right in the face
Said: “I’m not doin’ that, but I will canoodle”
First PRE-CHORUS
Now (So) I gotta tell you...
CHORUS
The word don’t mean doodle squat to me
And it can’t have nothin’ to do with that old poodle dog
I bet it don’t taste like no apple strudel pie
So just what in the hell is “canoodle?”
VERSE
Now where in the world do I go from here?
I guess I’d like to go where canoodle is
But let me make something perfectly clear
A vocabulary whiz I am not
PRE-CHORUS/Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/VERSE
I can’t just ask her; don’t want any laughter
I would not take kindly to that
So I’ll just take her home; we can talk on the phone
After I figure out where the dictionary’s at
Second PRE-CHORUS
Oh, but for now...
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
How the hell do you spell it, anyway? Let’s see here…
Damn, that’s closer to the batter’s box
