Work rating: Low


There was a time when people taked said with their mouth How they talk and it doesn`t mean a thing it`s called the modern talk Now picture the scene the day is sunny A man meets a friend and asks him for some money He says I need five to keep me alive And the friend gives him this kinda jive He says zaa za voo za za voo I can`t make it Va za va za voo za va see ya later so long see you later Vome zoo za vome a viddle o till then And he`s right back out on the street again And then a girl gets on the phone and talks to her lover She says we got troubles that we can`t keep covered I just got the news I`m knittin` baby shoes Now call up the preacher and pay your dues He says zaa za voo za za voo see you later so long huhuh I can`t stand baby vome zoo za vome till then And she`s right back out on the street again And then a guy gets grabbed by an army recruiter He says we`re gonna put you in the khaki suiter So do not cry and don`t you lie but take this test to qualify The guys says blblblblblbl huhuh till then And he`s right back out on the street again And then a lady goes down to see her psychiatrist And lies on a couch to give her little head a twist Now is it a psychosis or is it a neurosis the doctor gives her this diagnosis Sayin` huhuh listen huhuh twenty dollars Huhh next Wednesday baby then we`ll huhuh then She`s right back out on the street again And then the preachers in the church they`re blessin` and damnin` Presidents standin` there just Vietnamin` While the animals sing and politicians swing And everybody`s sayin` the same damned thing They`re sauin` zaa za voo za za voo you know that`s modern talk
