Sha la las and cutesy talk Can fill a whole LP But novelty songs about love gone wrong Really work their charm on me
Friends say put a column In some weekly metropolitan Don't stretch social courtesies So sodapop pity's lost all its fizzy He's still my patootie
And once the fizzy goes flat It's light-weight, wracked
I miss my coochie coo Now I'm boohoo blue She's got his time to kill While candles burn in my room
So I sit at home and watch the late night news 'Cause I'm hooked on tragic events The bullies and their boom-doom, whoa
And once the fizzy goes flat You're a second-rate sap and beau For Betty Boop
I miss my coochie coo Now I'm boohoo blue She's got his time to kill While candles burn in my room
I miss my coochie coo (They were a couple) Now I'm boohoo blue (He burst her bubble) She's got his time to kill (It's such a cruel fate) While candles burn in my room) (Living with heartache)
