Bathhouse Betty lyrics

Mmmmmm, you talk about you and only you
and the things that you do for you.
You say you're not a lean cuisine.
So I wanna see whatcha got on the menu.

Now, if you think you're the man the only man
with an exterior you feel is superior,
just give Miss B a little peek
and see if you really can deliver.

Your tendencies are short, my expectations are long.

Howard, the strangest things
have happened lately when I
take a good swing
and all my dreams
they pivot and slip.
I drop my fists
and they're back, laughing.

Howard, my intentions
become not to lose what I've won.
Ambition has given way
to desperation and I,
I've lost the fight from my eyes.

Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew

I gave my heart to you
The one that I trusted
You brought it back to me
All broken and busted
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again

You took my heart
Because you thought you could use it
Just like a little toy
You battered and bruised it
So I sold my heart to the junkman
And I'll never fall in love again

Like a melodrama
In a simple manner

"That's it, baby! When you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!"

"This is the Divine Miss M and I'm here to share with you some
rare and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity.
It's really very simple. I smiply believe with all my heart:"

I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!

I'm hip
I'm no square
I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware
I am always on the scene
Makin' the rounds
Diggin' the sounds
I read People Magazine
'Cause I'm hip

Like, dig!
I'm in step
When it was hip to be hep
I was hep
I don't blow but I'm a fan
Look at me swing
Ring a ding ding
I even call my girlfriend "man"
'Cause I'm hip

Every Satuday night
With my suit buttoned tight and my swedes on

Live at five and CNN
Keep us all abreast
Of breaking stories that can tend
To make us anxious and depressed
Problems with no answers
Hang on like some chronic cough
And everyday some some brand new issue
Rears it head to piss you off

Bad guys win
Optimism's wearing thin
Things are spinning out of control
Cynicism's all the fad
World events could make us mad as hatters

I know that I'm no saint
My head is in the clouds
They called you a mistake
But I still say your name out loud
They called me a stupid girl
Just like my mom
Too many men passed through my arms
At seventeen I looked into your eyes
Knew I could never comfort your cries
Every April still reminds me of you
The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

It all goes by so fast
How lovely you must be

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things,
a sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.

I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end,
you are my one true friend.

For all, all the times you closed your eyes,
allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,

My baby jumped up this morning
Sat on the side of the bed
He said "I'm leaving you, baby"
And this is just what I said
I said, "I can't make you stay
If you want to go"
But it's high time baby
That you should know

One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show
So if you still wanna go, go ahead
And I mean every word I said

My baby though I was jivin'
And he went right out the door

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the queen of heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
That there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Come on, let me hold you

Oooooh. Oooh-hoooh.
Ooooo-hoooh.
It's such a mystery
how he found something in me
that I never knew was there.
He uncovered it so easily.
He turned me like a season
and I began to change.
He wrapped himself all around me,
now I'll never be the same.

That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.

I saw the splendor of the moonlight on Honolulu Bay
There's something tender in the moonlight on Honolulu Bay
And all the beaches are full of peaches
Who bring their ukes along
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing this song

If you like a ukulele lady
Ukulele lady like a you
If you want to linger where it's shady
Ukulele lady linger too
If you kiss a ukulele lady
