So I started watchin 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've finished my book"

Chorus

I like to go out dancin', My baby loves a bunch of authors

We've been livin in hovels, spendin 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 readin the Toronto Sun.

So my honey & me go to a counsellor,

To help figure out what we need.

She said, "We'll get you love growing, but before we get going,

Here's some books I'd like you to read"

Chorus

I like to go out dancin', My baby loves a bunch of authors

Lately we've had some friction, 'Cause my baby's hooked on

Short works of fiction.

So we split & 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 whos who.

 Now I'm pEoundin' the ouzo - With MaArio Puzo

 WBho's a funny fella? - WE. P. Kinsella.
