Sha la las and cutesy talk
Can fill a whole LP
But novelty songs about love gone wrong
Really work their charm on me
Friends say put a column
In some weekly metropolitan
Don't stretch social courtesies
So sodapop pity's lost all its fizzy
He's still my patootie
And once the fizzy goes flat
It's light-weight, wracked
I miss my coochie coo
Now I'm boohoo blue
She's got his time to kill
While candles burn in my room
So I sit at home and watch the late night news
'Cause I'm hooked on tragic events
The bullies and their boom-doom, whoa
And once the fizzy goes flat
You're a second-rate sap and beau
For Betty Boop
I miss my coochie coo
Now I'm boohoo blue
She's got his time to kill
While candles burn in my room
I miss my coochie coo
(They were a couple)
Now I'm boohoo blue
(He burst her bubble)
She's got his time to kill
(It's such a cruel fate)
While candles burn in my room)
(Living with heartache)
