Earth to Doris by Was (Not Was) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At the loveless motel and restaurant out on Highway 33
The matchbook says call for reservations
Country ham and biscuits
Delicious steaks
I met a woman there one night
No moon just, just diesel trucks
She kissed me like she was hungry
So we got a room
[Verse 2]
In the morning she looked like a horse
Smoking little cigars
Playing these tapes of her husband
She says "Doesn't he sound like Elvis?"
She makes champagne out of 7 Up and cheap wine
A chemist!
[Verse 3]
Next to one of those insect electric chairs
Her skin gleaming blue every time a fly died
I read her the funnies
I laughed anyway
"Something's burning somewhere" I said
"Yeah, it's us" she says
[Verse 4]
"You both want coffee?" the waitress asks
Yeah, two, two coffees
That's perfect on this cold, dim, fluorescent morning
And, and a couple of those donuts over there, right Doris?
Right, Doris?
Earth to Doris
Earth to Doris
Come in Doris
Earth to Doris
At the loveless motel and restaurant out on Highway 33
The matchbook says call for reservations
Country ham and biscuits
Delicious steaks
I met a woman there one night
No moon just, just diesel trucks
She kissed me like she was hungry
So we got a room
[Verse 2]
In the morning she looked like a horse
Smoking little cigars
Playing these tapes of her husband
She says "Doesn't he sound like Elvis?"
She makes champagne out of 7 Up and cheap wine
A chemist!
[Verse 3]
Next to one of those insect electric chairs
Her skin gleaming blue every time a fly died
I read her the funnies
I laughed anyway
"Something's burning somewhere" I said
"Yeah, it's us" she says
[Verse 4]
"You both want coffee?" the waitress asks
Yeah, two, two coffees
That's perfect on this cold, dim, fluorescent morning
And, and a couple of those donuts over there, right Doris?
Right, Doris?
Earth to Doris
Earth to Doris
Come in Doris
Earth to Doris
