The steel guitars all playing, while she’s talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka
Words I understand chorus
I boughta lota junka with my moola, and sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula, I guess I should have known

It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue

You had a busy day today
Jesus freaks, out in the street, handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs, the boulevard is not that bad.
Piano man, he makes his stand, in the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs,
The words she knows, the tunes she hums.
