lyrics

How sweet your lips
Your wine-dark kiss
Your heart so true

You’ve got a way about you
(Shooby doo shooby doo)

Your dark eyes they sparkle
Your kiss is a dream
Your mind is so simple
Your skin is like cream (OOooo)
You’re really a marvel
Sticky like caramel
(ALL: You’ve got a way about you)

Your meatloaf’s not bad
It could be better (OOooo)
But I can forgive it
Cause you fill out that sweater (Oooo ooo?)
Scrubbing floors on your knees
And I never say please
(You’ve got a way about you)

Put on only your apron
Freshen my drink (What?)
Get out the Comet and go scrub the sink (Oh, hell no.)
After all
What else should a woman do
But screw (Well, I never!)

So you ain’t got a brain (Are you kidding me?)
I don’t give a shit (Oh, my goodness!)
Just make me a sandwich
And show me your tits
You sure are a looker
You could be a hooker (Ohh, my god)
You’ve got a way about you
Right, girls?

ANNA: That’s it.
CARLEY: I can’t even believe that he said that. That is the last straw!
ANNA: He’s been doing this all tour. What are we gonna do about him?
CARLEY: (PAUSE) I’ve got a knife!
BOTH: Yeahhhh
CARLEY: Here, take it. Go right and show him. You can’t talk to us like that.
CHARLES: Oh sweet cheeks. That is so cute, so cute. What are you going to do with that knife?
CARLEY: Look at that look on his face. Give it to him, sister.
CHARLES: Hey, do what you do best? Put on a freakin’ apron and carve me a meatloaf. Am I right, fellas? Am I right?

BOTH: NOW!
CARLEY: How dare you?

Ooooo! Ooo! OooooOOOOOOO. What did you shooby dooby do?
Get a load of these broads.
1 2 3 4
You had it coming
You son of a bitch
We’ll dump off your body
Somewhere in a ditch
That’s too good for you
Mr. Shooby dooby do
You had a way about you

Justice is served
Like breakfast in bed
The world is much better
Now that you’re dead
Lying there on the floor
We don’t care anymore
But it’s true…
You had a way about you

Shooby dooby (-cough-) do

Shut up. You’re dead!
