Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, she was walkin' toward me in a tight red dress Lookin' like she just won a beauty contest I wanted so bad to make a good impression Using all the powers of articulate expression Then all the blood rushed out of my head And I can't be held responsible for what I said [Spoken Interlude] 'Cause what I meant to say was, "I'd be honored to reveal to you some aspects of our fair metropolis that a lady of your obvious sophistication might find extremely stimulating." What slipped out was... "Ya wanna see my pet frog?" [Chorus] Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue) My brain does a flip (And I come undone) My tongue starts to trip (All over my words) And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard) In my desperate attempts to be cool I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool What I mean to say is poetic But what comes out is just pathetic [Verse 2] No time for regrets—hey, what are you gonna do? 'Cause the very next day, I had a job interview But then came the shocker and I don't mean maybe The personnel director was the very same lady I thought, here's my chance to turn it all around I'll dazzle her by saying something profound [Spoken Interlude] And what I meant to say was, "I'm quite confident that I have the educational qualifications and the inherent sensitivity to become an indispensable asset to your establishment." What slipped out was... "Would you sign my arm?" [Chorus] Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue) My brain does a flip (And I come undone) My tongue starts to trip (All over my words) And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard) In my desperate attempts to be cool I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool What I mean to say is poetic But what comes out is just pathetic [Chorus/Outro] Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue) My brain does a flip (And I come undone) My tongue starts to trip (All over my words) And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard) In my desperate attempts to be cool I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool What I mean to say is poetic But what comes out is just pathetic
