Laurie Anderson - Ba lyrics

I don't know about your brain-

but mine is really bossy

I come home from a day on the golf course

and I find all these messages

scribbled on wrinkled up scraps of paper

And they say thing like:

Why don't you get a real job?

Or: You and what army?

Or: Get a horse.

And then I hear this voice

comin from the back of my head Uh huh

(Whoa-ho) Yep! It's my brain again

And when my brain talks to me, he says:

Take me out to the ballgame

Take me out to the park

Take me to the movies

Cause I love to sit in the dark

Take me to Tahiti

Cause I love to be hot

And take me out on the town tonight

Cause I know the new hot spot. He says:

Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll Ooo He says:

Babydoll! I love it when you come when I call

Babydoll! You don't have to talk I know it all

Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll Ooo

Well I'm sitting around trying to write a letter

I'm wracking my brains trying to think

of another word for horse

I ask my brain for some assistance.

And he says: Huh...Let's see...How about cow?

That's close. He says:

Take me out to the ballgame

Take me out to the park

Take me to the movies

Cause I love to sit in the dark

Take me to your leader

And I say: Do you mean George?

And he says: I just want to meet him

And I say:

Come on I mean I don't even know George!

And he says:

Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll Ooo He says:

Babydoll! I love it when you come when I call

Babydoll! You don't have to talk I know it all

Babydoll! Ooo oo oo Babydoll Ooo

Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo

Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo

Babydoll! Babydoll! Ooo oo oo
