Lyrics
Well you should see my story reading baby
You should hear the things that she says
She says "Hun drop dead I'd rather go to bed
With Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs
Leave on the light for bell hooks
I've been flirting with Pierre Berton
'Cause he's so smart in his books"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
My heart's so broke and bleeding
Baby's just sitting there
Doing some reading
So I started watching some TV
Played my new CD player too
She said "Turn it off or I'll call the cops
And I'll throw the book at you"
All this arguing made me get dizzy
Called my doctor to come have a look
I said "Doctor hurry!"
He said "Don't worry I'll be over when I'm finished my book"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been living in hovels
Spending all our money on
Brand new novels
So I got myself on a streetcar
And it drove right into someone
You know the driver said
"I was looking straight ahead"
But he was reading the Toronto Sun
So my honey and me go to a counsellor
To help figure out what we need
She said "We'll get your love growing
But before we get going
Here's some books I'd like you to read"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some friction
My baby's hooked on
Short works of fiction
So we split and went to a party
Some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight 'cause it's author's night
And the place looks like a loose roof
Now I'm pounding the ouzo
With Mario Puzo
Who's a funny fella?
W.P. Kinsella
Who brought the cash?
Margaret Atwood
Who needs a shave?
He's Robertson Davies
I thought they started a food fight
Selling mousse all over the scene
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing
These writer types are a scream
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
Eating and sleeping and
Eating and sleeping and
Eating und sleeping und
Turning pages
Yeah
