Modern Talk lyrics

(There was a time when people talked said with their mouth

How they talk and it doesn`t mean a thing it`s called the modern talk)<BR>

Now picture the scene the day is sunny

A man meets a friend and asks him for some money

He says I need five to keep me alive

And the friend gives him this kinda jive

He says zaa za voo za za voo I can`t make it

Va za va za voo za va see ya later so long see you later

Vome zoo za vome a viddle o till then

And he`s right back out on the street again



And then a girl gets on the phone and talks to her lover

She says we got troubles that we can`t keep covered

I just got the news I`m knittin` baby shoes

Now call up the preacher and pay your dues

He says zaa za voo za za voo see you later so long huhuh

I can`t stand baby vome zoo za vome till then

And she`s right back out on the street again



And then a guy gets grabbed by an army recruiter

He says we`re gonna put you in the khaki suiter

So do not cry and don`t you lie but take this test to qualify

The guy says blblblblblbl huhuh till then

And he`s right back out on the street again



And then a lady goes down to see her psychiatrist

And lies on a couch to give her little head a twist

Now is it a psychosis or is it a neurosis the doctor gives her this diagnosis

Sayin` huhuh listen huhuh twenty dollars

Huhh next Wednesday baby then we`ll huhuh then

She`s right back out on the street again



And then the preachers in the church they`re blessin` and damnin`

Presidents standin` there just Vietnamin`

While the animals sing and politicians swing

And everybody`s sayin` the same damned thing

They`re sayin` zaa za voo za za voo you know that`s modern talk
