Verse 1

Let me tell you about the girl that’s on my mind
Well I’ll tell you now she robbed me blind
And now I ain't got nothing in the world and she wants that too
Well I sang her a lullaby and I sang her the blues
And now I ain't got nothing in the world and she wants that too
She Wants That Too


Chorus

I bought silk stockings and a diamond ring
A mocking bird but it didn’t sing
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
I bought her chocolates and a xylophone
I sent her flowers but she wasn’t home
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
I bought her kittens and a Bassett Hound
But two days later she put them down
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe

Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe

(skat)


Verse 2

Well I sold my house I took out loans
I sold my kidney my mobile phone
I took her out to a thousand shows but still she didn’t smile
Well I took her to Paraguay and I took her to Brugge
And now I ain't got nothing in the world and she wants that too
She Wants That Too


Chorus

I bought silk stockings and a diamond ring
A mocking bird but it didn’t sing
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
I bought her chocolates and a xylophone
I sent her flowers but she wasn’t home
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
I bought her kittens and a Bassett Hound
But two days later she put them down
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe

Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe

Ba ba ba di dat ba doe
Ba ba ba di dat ba doe

Wait!


Verse 3

Now the Pigeons are my friends and the water from the sky is free to drink
And words are all I have now my mind is free to think
Well people think I’m crazy because I gave the lady all that I own
I gave her all that I own
Yeah and people stop to tell me that the lights are on but nobody's home
Yeah there's nobody home


(Middle 8)
