My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

Well you should see my story-reading baby, you should hear things that she says 

She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez" 

Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs, leave on the light for bell hooks 

I been flirtin' with Pierre Burton 'cause he's so smart in his books 

I like to go out dancing 

My baby loves a bunch of authors 

My heart's so broke and bleedin' 

Baby's just sittin' there doin' some readin' 

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 came have a look 

I said "Doctor, hurry!" She said: "Don't worry, I'll be over when I finish 

my book" 

I like to go out dancing 

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 the streetcar and it drove right into someone 

The driver said: "I was looking straight ahead!" but he was reading the 

Toronto Sun 

So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need 

She said: "We'll get your love growin', but before we get goin' here's some 

books I'd like you to read" 

I like to go out dancing 

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 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 

Now I'm poundin' the Ouzo - with Mario Puzo 

Who's a funny fella? - W.P. Kinsella 

Who brought the cat? - would Margaret Atwood? 

Who needs a shave? - he's Robertson Davies! 

Ondartje started a food fight, salmon mousse all over the scene 

Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing these writer types are a scream! 

I like to go out dancing 

My baby loves a bunch of authors 

We'll be together for ages 

Eatin' and sleepin' and turnin' pages
