When Betty Goes Boop
Little kids use to ask for Christmasbig elephants or toffees.
As for me, I didn't want any of that,
so I asked my daddy,
'Take me, take me to the movies.'
When Betty goes boop,
when Popeye goes pie1,
when Mickey goes meeeeow
It jabs me here and there,
it goes up, it goes down, it gets me there.
When Betty goes boop,
when Popeye goes pie,
when Mickey goes meeeeow
I don't know why all this
has such an effect on me.
After I turned 18, one fine day I met
a charming young man who, to woo me,
offered me an opera lodge.
I said to him, 'I don't care much about that,
take me, take me to the movies.'
When Betty goes boop,
when Popeye goes pie,
when Mickey goes meeeeow
It jabs me here and there,
it goes up, it goes down, it gets me there.
When Betty goes boop,
when Popeye goes pie,
when Mickey goes meeeeow
I don't know why all this
has such an effect on me.
During the newsreels he inched closer
During the cartoons he kissed me
And then I don't know what happened,
everything blurred inside my head,
and this night, this night at the movies
Popeye went boop
Mickey went pie
Betty went meeeeow
I saw them upside down
I went up here, it went down here
Popeye went boop
Mickey went pie
Betty went meeeeow
I don't know why all this
has such an effect on me.
Since then, he's been seduced
and says every evening, 'Let's go to the movies'
When Betty goes boop,
when Popeye goes pie,
when Mickey goes meeeeow
I don't know why all this
I don't know why all this
I don't know why all this
has such an effect on me.
