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 ain't got 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 and 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
Spoken: How the hell do you spell it, anyway? Let's see now...
Damn, that's closer to the batter's box
