This song is most likely about someone flirting with another, wanting them to be their “hobby” As in keep them company in their spare time. This is clear from the lyrics “Let’s stand side-to-side and say ‘I do’”
My hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
My hobby
I'll build a Hobby Lobby
Baby, just for me and you
Some build model airplanes
And some like to dig in mud
You say you want to act and play
Well while you practice I'll study your lines
As my hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
My hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
My hobby
Oh, won't 'ya be my hobby?
I'd sure like to set a plate with you
Some boys like to hunt and fish
And some boys sail the sea
I'd take up photography
To build a dark room for you and me
As my hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
My hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
My hobby
Oh, come on, be my hobby!
Let's stand side-to-side and say "I do"
People like collecting stamps
Some like to dig in the ground
I'd like to hunt up a preacher deer so people won't say we're 'slippin around!
My hobby
I want you for my hobby
After work I need something to do
