Come on Boys!

When I woke up this mornin
Boys I was gone
My girlfreind asked me
Where do I come from
Put my face up in the mirror
Just to clock my wheres
First thing I know
I gotta get outta here

(On back to) Babylon
(I gotta get away, to) Babylon
(So I can't stay) Babylon
(Cus it's too much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down to Babylon
(Im goin to Babylon)

I was drivin ou tonite
And boys I was gone
The coppers asked me
Where do I come from
One looks at my cards
One checks my ID
With this junk on my face

It's easy to see

(I'm from) Babylon
(I gotta get away, to) Babylon
(I can't stay) Babylon
(Havin too much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down
I gotta get around to Babylon

Let's go to Babylon boys
Two girls for every boy

Well a Babylon girl aint got no past
The Babylon girl gots to talk so fast
The Babylon men gonna be a boy
With the Babylon girl out lookin for a joy

(In) Babylon
(I gotta get away, to) Babylon
(Beggin I can't stay) Babylon
(Havin to much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down
I wont be safe, child nobodys safe til theyre in Babylon
(I'm goin to Babylon)

Shes been massagin all day but shes thinkin 'bout you daddy
Thinkin bout you daddy til they all go away
And when she up there dancin shes just tryin make a buck
Tryin make some money gonna give you all a look

(Havin too too too much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down
I wont be safe, I wont be free, til I hit Babylon
(I'm goin to Babylon)

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane

Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Ooga booga, lemme outta here!


Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away
I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
My chance of surviving was gettin' slim
So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead
Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said


Baby, baby, the man's no good
Baby, baby, should have understood
You can trust me just as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)
Cause I love you (So damn fine)
Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)
Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle)
Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)
Cause I love you

Who's the one that wants to take her home and make 'em say they wanna stay a year
Who's the one that wants to take 'em home and make 'em crawl right thru the years

Who's the one that wants to slam it in the door and try to keep it

Who's the one that's wants to mill out in the street and leave 'em shouting "yankee go home"
Cmon tell me
Who's the one that wants to slam it in the door and try to hide it
she's a mystery girl
Who's the one that wants to kick it on the floor and try to treat it like a scattered rug

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, gonna be a showdown

Well, I've got ten notches
On my shoes
And when it comes to dancin'

They call me the top cat
Right in this here town

When sun goes down

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown
Alright, now

All the girls been losin'

And when you get yourself out on that floor
You better have your steps together

There's gonna be a showdown
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, gonna be a showdown

Got the invitation to that seventies expose
But how she ever gonna love you when she can't parlez vous your Francais
You know that she can't stop dancin' and that's just about to make you scream
When you where actin' so damn fine
You tryin' hard not to be so mean
And you're tryin' to tell me
Ow

That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times baby it's too late

That's when I saw your mama and she's the blonde queen of the prom
And you're the little heiress to the kingdom from the flesh right down to the bone
Cause I saw you last night darlin' on the midnight flight to the stars
But you spend most your time in the powder room where you chit chat with Diana Doors
And you tryin to tell her
Ow

That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late

You invite us up to that B-trip (?) but that's nothing new on me
That reminds me of problems back in 1933
Now you where here when they crashed on down and the geckos (?) got smacked up
And now all of God's children,
They gettin' what they want
When they get the ticket
OW! OW!

That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Go ahead

Lickity split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I don't think it fits
Lookin' for a hoot
I'm gonna shout
Where'd you get them boots?

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'

Oh, little rhinestone target
Has to change his name
'Cause all the boys and girls
Think that you're too easy game
Don't you know the shoes
Is makin' him lame?
Shut him up, boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Get shot for tryin'

There's just one thing that I'm trying to say
Sometimes you got to get away some place

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Oh, boy girl that's just all

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby, shot for tryin'

If all you wanna do is save your face
And what you gonna do after this place?
I'm screamin' help, help, help
Full of grace, now, what I say?

Little rhinestone target
Has to change his name
All the boys and girls
Think he's too easy game
Don't you know the boots
Are makin' him lame?
I'm screamin' shut him up, boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby, shot for tryin'

Well, this is one thing that I'm tryin' to say
Sometimes you got to get away some way

Until you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Boy girl that should be all
Just like you're ten foot tall
I sure hope you don't fall
Oh, when you're ten foot tall
Go ahead now

Making that split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I done plead the fifth
Going for a hoot
I thought I'd shout
Where did you get them boots?

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot

Goin' down to Rosie's
Gonna talk to Fanny May
I gotta tell her what I heard
Her boyfriend say

But don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm breakin' this signifyin'
Because somebody's gotta go

Jackie's wife two dollars
Gonna get some '?'
Because she stepped out on the street, you know
Ol' George slaps her face
He knocks her down
And gonna blackeen her eye
So when she gets back home
Tells her husband a lie

Don't you start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm breakin' this signifyin'
Because somebody's gotta go

She borrowed some money
Ran on down the beauty shop
You know when she honked the horn
You know she began to stop and said
Come get my baby
Goin' down around the block
I'm goin' down the beauty shop
And get my hair styled

Don't you start me talkin'
'Cause I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm breakin' this signifyin'
Because somebody's gotta go

An' I ain't goin' no further, no!

She borrowed some money
Ran on down the beauty shop
You know when she honked that horn
I said that she began to stop and said
Come get my baby
Bring 'im down around the block
I'm screamin' down the beauty shop
And get my hair styled

Don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell ev'rything I know
I'm breakin' this signifyin'
Because somebody's gotta go

Well if you don't like it
Go ahead, find yourself a saint
go ahead now,
Try to find a boy
who's gonna be what I ain't
now what you need is
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
Who's gonna sit through the madness
And always acts so quaint
Said yeah yeah yeah

With your new friend
You're really making a scene
And I see you bouncing around
From machine to machine
And you know
They're never real, they're
Never what they seem
And you can try to generate some warmth
And you see just what I mean
I said yeah yeah yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
Well that's cause I'm a human being
and if I want too many things
don't you know that
I'm a human being
and if I've got to dream
baby baby baby yeah
I'm a human being
and when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being

And I've just got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human, babe,
An unknown human being
And I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being

why won't you give me a little sip
why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette
why don't you try to give me something
that I will never ever forget
but now don't you blow it all
on a million dollar bet
because you're liable to lose it
on the best lovin' you've had yet
I'm beggin yeah yeah oh yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
Well that's cause I'm a human being
I want too many things
Don't you know that
I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
I said well, I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being

And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human, babe
An unknown human being
and I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being

In fact I'm talking about the human race
You're trying to cover up the big disgrace
I said yeah yeah yeah,
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Well I may think that this whole scene is just a
Too appalling for me
Or I may be the type who's just a mad about
Every little thing that I see
Well I can color that with mystery
Or make it just what I want it to be
While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines
With all the Hollywood refugees, screaming
Yeah yeah, oh yeah

And If I'm acting like a king
I said well, I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
don't you know that
I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Baby baby, I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
(wooah) I'm a human being
And I've got to go around
With my head hung down
Just like a human being
We're all just human being
And I can hold my head so high
Cause I'm a human, a first class human being

I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
I'm a human being
