My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors

[E]

Well you should s[E]ee my story reading b[A]aby
You should h[B]ear the things that she s[E]ays
She says "[E]Hon, drop dead, I'd rather g[A]o to bed
With G[B]abriel Garcia Marq[E]uez".

Cuddle Up with William S. Burroughs
Leave on the light for Bel Hooks
I been flirtin' with Pierre Burton
'Cause He's so smart in his books.

[A]I like to go out d[E]ancin', My [A]baby loves a bunch of authors[E]
[A]My hearts so broke & b[E]leedin' Baby's ju[B]st sittin there,       [B]         [B]
Doin' some readin'.[E]

So I started watchin some TV,
Played my new CD player too.
She said, "Turn it off or I'll call the cops
And I'll throw the book at you"

All this arguing made me get dizzy,
Called my doctor to come have a look.
I said "Doctor hurry!", He said "Don't worry,
I'll be over when I've finished my book"

I like to go out dancin', My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been livin in hovels, spendin all our money on
Brand new novels.

So I got myself on a streetcar
And it drove right into someone
You know the driver said, "I was looking straight ahead",
But he was readin the Toronto Sun.

So my honey & me go to a counsellor,
To help figure out what we need.
She said, "We'll get you love growing, but before we get going,
Here's some books I'd like you to read"

I like to go out dancin', My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some friction, 'Cause my baby's hooked on
Short works of fiction.

So we split & went to a party,
Some friends my girl said she knew.
But what a sight, 'cause it's authors night
And the place looks like a whos who.

Now I'm p[E]oundin' the ouzo - With Ma[A]rio Puzo
W[B]ho's a funny fella? - W[E]. P. Kinsella.
[E]Who brought the cat? - would M[A]argaret Atwood?
[B]Who needs a shave? - He's R[E]obertson Davies.
[E]Ondaatje started a f[A]oodfight,
Salmon m[B]ouse all over the s[E]cene.
[E]Spilt some dressing on D[A]oris Lessing,
These wr[B]iter types are a sc[E]ream.
