Well you should see my story reading baby, you should hear the things that she says,
She says "Hon, drop dead, I`d rather go to bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez."
(Mike in funny voice)
Uhh-huh!
(Dave)
Cuddle up with William S. Burrows, leave on the light for Bell Hooks,
I`ve been flirtin` with Pierre Burton `cause he`s so smart in his books
(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
My heart`s so broke and bleedin`
(Dave)
Baby`s just sitting there
(Murray)
doing some reading
(Dave)
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:
(Murray)
"Don`t worry, I`ll be over when I finish my book"
(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We`ve been livin in hovels
(Dave)
Spendin` all our money on
(Murray)
brand new novels
(Dave)
So I got myself on a streetcar and it drove right into someone,
You know the driver said:
(Jian in grizzly voice)
"I was lookin` straight ahead!"
(Dave)
But he was reading the Toronto Sun
(Jian)
"So?"
(Dave)
So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need
She said: "We`ll get your love growing,
(Mike, in funny Dr. Ruth voice)
but before we get going, here`s some books I`d like you to read."
(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we`ve had some fricton
(Dave)
`Cause my baby`s hooked on
(Murray)
short works of fiction
(Dave)
So we split and went to a party, some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight `cause it`s authors night and the place looks like a who`s who
(Dave)
Now I`m pounding the ouzo

Who brought the cat?

(Dave)
Who needs a shave?
