[BABYLOVE]
Glad to see you, folks

Gonna put on a show full of talkin' in tongues
And we're rarin' to go
It's a hootin' and hollerin' heavenly troupe:
Babylove's Miracle Show!
Babylove's Miracle Show!
Call me Babylove

Loved and raised me so many babies, I'm Babylove
And they turned out so nice
I decided to call them my Pride-'N'-Joys
They're the hootin' and hollerin'
Part of the Babylove Miracle Show!
They're the hootin' and hollerin'

Some can do anything
It takes all kinds, takes all kinds
Takes all kinds in this world
Hallalu!
Heed the call!
Babylove loves you all!
I was seventeen
When I met a man
Looked in his eyes
And I walked into heaven
And he fed me a line
Said he was mine
Then skedaddled away
But his eyes were blue
Sky-blue
Well I had me his baby
In a city up north
And I saw two tiny blue peepers
Yup, I had me his baby
In a city up north
And I saw two tiny blue peepers
And I walked right back into heaven
Oh yeah, and I walked right back into heaven
Like a tumbleweed
In a praire wind
Drifted around
Till I found some more heaven
And wherever I went
Met me a gent
Who skedaddled away
But his eyes were blue
Sky-blue
In the haze of a silo
Or a shadowy barn
Or a dark and dinky hotel room
In the haze of a silo
Or a shadowy barn
Or a dark and dinky hotel room
Well, kerplunk in the middle of nowhere
Kerplunk in the middle of nowhere
All my blue-eyed men had a yen for wandering
Lord knows where they've all gone to
But they left me a harvest of blue-eyed children
To walk me back into heaven
Thank you, thank you, lord
Gonna walk into heaven
Got no time for sin
Gonna walk into heaven
If you haven't been
Time to walk into heaven
If you haven't been, time to walk
Walk into heaven
Into heaven
Take my hand
And walk into heaven!
Share my joy and love
All my joy and love
Feel it flow, let it go
Where it wants to go
Spread it here, spread it there
Spread that love everywhere
Oh, it takes all kinds
Must be someone for you
To walk into heaven with
Two-by-two
Hand in hand
Take my hand and walk into heaven
Into heaven
Take my hand and walk into heaven
[BABYLOVE, spoken]
Heeby-jeeby trouble
Heal it double-quick
Achy-painy sick

Time to hang a little moolah on the washline
Washline, washline
Time to hang a little moolah on the washline
God's washline
Everybody's gotta eat, dawganit

On the washline to dry

Time to hang a little moolah on the washline
Washline, washline
Time to hang a little moolah on the washline

Remember not to knock it till you tried it
Talkin' in tongues is a miracle cure
Amen
