[Verse 1]
Well, she was walkin' toward me in a tight red dress
Lookin' like she just won a beauty contest
I wanted so bad to make a good impression
Using all the powers of articulate expression
Then all the blood rushed out of my head
And I can't be held responsible for what I said
[Spoken Interlude]
'Cause what I meant to say was, "I'd be honored to reveal to you some aspects of our fair metropolis that a lady of your obvious sophistication might find extremely stimulating."
What slipped out was... "Ya wanna see my pet frog?"
[Chorus]
Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue)
My brain does a flip (And I come undone)
My tongue starts to trip (All over my words)
And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard)
In my desperate attempts to be cool
I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool
What I mean to say is poetic
But what comes out is just pathetic
[Verse 2]
No time for regrets—hey, what are you gonna do?
'Cause the very next day, I had a job interview
But then came the shocker and I don't mean maybe
The personnel director was the very same lady
I thought, here's my chance to turn it all around
I'll dazzle her by saying something profound
[Spoken Interlude]
And what I meant to say was, "I'm quite confident that I have the educational qualifications and the inherent sensitivity to become an indispensable asset to your establishment."
What slipped out was... "Would you sign my arm?"
[Chorus]
Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue)
My brain does a flip (And I come undone)
My tongue starts to trip (All over my words)
And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard)
In my desperate attempts to be cool
I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool
What I mean to say is poetic
But what comes out is just pathetic
[Chorus/Outro]
Freudian slip (A slip of the tongue)
My brain does a flip (And I come undone)
My tongue starts to trip (All over my words)
And they come out of my lips (Like something you never heard)
In my desperate attempts to be cool
I try to be hip, and I'm a blabbering fool
What I mean to say is poetic
But what comes out is just pathetic
