Tongue-Tied
by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor
INTRO
Whoo, whenever you are near me
I get tongue tied baby, whoo!
VERSE ONE
When I saw you for the first time (first time)
My knees began to quiver (quiver)
And I got a funny feeling (feeling)
In my kidneys and my liver (digestive system baby)
My hands they started shaking (shaking)
My heart began a-thumping (boom-boom-boom)
My breakfast left my body (huey huey huey)
Now darling tell me something
CHORUS
Why do you make me tongue tied? (tongue tied) tongue tied
Whenever you are near me (whenever you are)
I'm tie-tongue (tie-tongue) tie-tongue (tie-tongue)
Whenever you're in town (in town)
You make me feel a clown girl
Yes you make me tongue-tongue (tie-tied) tongue tied
Why can't I tell you clearly? (why can't I tell you?)
I'm tie-tied tongue-tongue (tongue tied, tongue tied)
Whenever you're around (around, ba-dap-bap-bow-boo-dow)
VERSE TWO
I saw you 'cross the dance floor (dancing)
I thought of birds and bees (reproductive system baby)
But when I tried to speak to you (talk talk)
My tongue unravelled to my knees (flibberdy flibberdy flob)
I tried to say "I love you" (love you)
But it came out kind of wrong girl (whoo who who whoo)
It sounded like: "Nunubididoo" (tongue tied)
Nuh mur nuh murh ni nong nurl
CHORUS
It's 'cause you make me tongue tied (tongue tied) tongue tied
Whenever you are near me (whenever you are)
I'm nurmi-murmi (nurmi-murmi)
Murmi-nurmi (murmi-nurmi)
Whenever you're in town (in town)
My trousers they go brown girl
Yes you make me nongi-nangi (nangi-nongi) ningi-nungi
Why can't I tell you clearly? (why can't I tell you?)
Gi-darbi-durgle, darbi-durgle (tongue tied, tongue tied)
Whenever you're around (around, ba-dap-bap-bow-boo-dow)
CAT SPOKEN
Slow it down Fellas
MIDDLE 8
Oh I'm begging on my knees
Sweet sweet darling, listen please (on my knees, listen please)
Understand me when I say
Ooh ooh baby baby (when I say I'm tongue tied baby)
I'm just tongue tied for you baby
and oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (I'm tongue tied, I'm tie-tongue)
Umdoobi I'm tongue tied
I'm tongue tied baby baby ba... (I'm tongue tied I'm tongue tied baby)
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! I think I've got it!
GIRL SPOKEN
What did you say?
CHORUS
I'm trying to say I'm tongue tied (tongue tied) tongue tied
Whenever you are near me (whenever you are)
I'm nurmi-murmi (nurmi-murmi)
Murmi-nurmi (murmi-nurmi)
Whenever you're in town (in town)
I drool so much I drown girl
Yes you make me nongi-nangi (nangi-nongi) ningi-nungi
Why can't I tell you clearly? (why can't I tell you?)
Gi-darbi-durgle (darbi-durgle) durgle-darbi durgle-darby
Whenever you're around (around)
Whenever you're around girl (whoo) ooh-oo-ooh...
