Kid Creole and The Coconuts
(Darlin’ You Can) Take Me
[Verse 1]
She took me out on the highway
With the pedal down to the floor
See, when she said: "Going my way?"
I didn't know what she had in store
She said:

[Chorus]
"If you're looking for a girl with a permanent curl
Whose middle name is 'Holiday'
Well, darlin', you can take me, because I'm giving it all away
Darlin' you can take me, and I mean anyhow, anyway"

[Verse 2]
All because I [?], she pulled up to a sudden stop
And then she leaned "Going my way?"
She was hotter than the engine block
She said:

[Chorus]
"If you're looking for a girl who is out of this world
A toy that you can never break
Well, darlin', you can take me, because I'm giving it all away
Darlin' you can take me, and I mean anyhow, anyway"

[Bridge]
At the risk of sounding oh so homosexual
Lemme say the girl came on too strong
And the atmosphere was wrong
She could never make me anything but ashamed
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
[Verse 3]
You threw her legs all around me
So tight I couldn't make a run
I told her I wasn't hungry
Yet she fed me 'bout a yard of tongue
And said:

[Chorus]
"If you're looking for a girl with a permanent curl
Whose middle name is 'Holiday'
Well, darlin', you can take me, because I'm giving it all away
Darlin' you can take me, and I mean anyhow, anyway"

[Outro]
Darlin' you can take me
Darlin' you can take me
Darlin' you can take me
That's all the cannibal had to say
