(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Frankie Laine was singing "Jezebel"
I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel
I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl
I said, "Look, you don't know me now
But very soon you will
So won't you let me see
Won't you let me see
I said won't you let me see
Your naked body?"
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
She said, "Just dance me
To the dark side of the gym
Chances are, I'll let you do almost anything
I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice
And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice"
"But no, you cannot see
No, you cannot see
She said no, you cannot see
My naked body."
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
We're dancing close, the band is playing "Stardust"
Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us
She says, "You've got a minute left to fall in love"
In solemn moments such as this I've put my trust
Yes, and all my faith to see
All my faith to see
All my faith to see
Her naked body
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh my babe, oh, my babe
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, oh, my babe
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh my babe, oh, my babe
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh my babe, oh my babe
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh a-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Sha-da-doo-da, oh-oh, oh-oh)
