Baby’s On TV
Send for the doctor
send for the priest
The End must be coming
’cause Baby’s On TV
She’s talking with her eyes
She couldn’t hold a job
could hardly spell her name
now she’s lunching at the polo lounge
and wintering in spain
(she’s speaking from her heart)
she’s talking with her eyes
I’d been expecting
to be surprised
but when I saw that advert
the sun fell from the sky
she’s talking with her eyes
saying what a fool I’ve been to never realize
just an average girl next door
without an ounce of style
now she’s a jetset darling
soul-kissing me good-bye
shes talking with her eyes
[bridge]
I met her in a cross-dress bar
down in San Antone
She was draped across some gigolo
and most of her clothes were gone
Her eyes were blue her hair was green
and her legs were impossibly long
but most of all it was her blank-eyed stare
that really turned me on
I knew right then
she was the only one
who would ever break my heart
I took her home and we settled down
in the Camelot Trailer Park
But Fate intervened in the mall that day
at the Spokesmodel Try-Out Fair
they loved her look they loved her legs
they loved here blank-eyed stare
[bridge ends]
send for a doctor send for the priest
the End must be coming ’cause Baby’s On TV
Shes talking with her eyes
Shes got clothes She’s got cars
she’s seen with politicians
she’s seen with handsome stars
I’m sitting home watching baby on TV
Babys on TV
Babys on TV
she’s talking with her eyes
saying what a fool I’ve been to never realize
