Sarah Vaughan Doodlin'
Usin' the phone booth
Makin' a few calls
Doodlin' weird things
Usin' the booth walls, yeah
Got me a big date
Waitin' for my chap
A-puttin' his fine on
So he can look dap
I enjoy procrastinatin'
'Cause I'm busy while I'm waitin'
Doodlin' away, yeah
Sittin' and dinin'
Dinner beginin'
Started refinin'
Usin' the linen
Talkin' to my man
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, oh yeah
Those weird designs
They always show what's goin' on in weirdy minds
'Cause when you doodle then your noodle's flyin' high
Everything rushes by right
Might just be a thought
That you caught while coppin' a wink
Doodlin' takes you beyond what you think
And then you draw what you think, yeah
Later the waiter
Had me arrested
Took me to belleview
Where I was tested
Had me a doctor
Bought him a noodle
Boy he was handsome
Taught him to doodle
Showed him hidden thoughts that linger
Find an outlet through your finger
Doodle away, oh yeah, yeah
Doctor was real nice
Told me to be cool
Looked at the waiter
Called him a real fool, yes he did
Looked at my baby
Told him to feel free
Got him to doodlin'
So he could bug me
When he put his arms around me
Quite to his surprise he found me
Doodlin' away, yeah
Oh let's doodle baby, yeah a doodle to the left now
Doodle a little to the right, yeah alright
Doodle to the right, left, right or left and doodle away
