Freudian Slip

[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
