Ventriloquist Love

Once we were happy
Like Dorian Hud (?)
I was your fella
And you were my bird
We didn't no big Rolls-Royce
But we was happy then, wasn't we Joyce?
And then you went away to night school
And learned to throw your voice

Ventriloquist love
It ain't such a groove
Whenever I kiss you
Your lips never move

You'd practice for hours
With your bedroom door shut
You and your dummy
Little Charlie McNut
Everybody thought he was so cute
In his little yellow suit
But then one night you broke him
And made me substitute

Ventriloquist love
It ain't such a groove
Whenever I kiss you
Your lips never move

Once I loved you in the worst kind of way
I thought about you every night, every day
And oh what a thrill, I remember it still
The night I asked you to marry me and I heard you say "I will!"

Ventriloquist love (ventriloquist love)
It ain't such a groove (it ain't such a groove)
Whenever I kiss you (whenever I kiss you)
Your lips never move

But last night at the party
You threw it all away
I'll never live down, dear
The things you forced me to say
You made a pass at every guy
I just wanted to curl up and die
Because you made the words come from me
And now I can't look 'em in the eye
'Cause the things that they're saying
Are hard to disprove
Whenever I kiss you
Your lips never move

Ventriloquist love (ventriloquist love)
It ain't such a groove (it ain't such a groove)
Whenever I kiss you (whenever I kiss you)
Your lips never move (your lips never move)

Ventriloquist love (ventriloquist love)
No, no it ain't such a groove (ventriloquist love)
Whenever I kiss you (ventriloquist love)
Darling, your lips never move (ventriloquist love)

Ventriloquist love (ventriloquist love)
It ain't such a groove (ventriloquist love)
Whenever I kiss you (ventriloquist love)
Your lips never move (ventriloquist love)

Ventriloquist love (ventriloquist love)
It ain't such a groove (ventriloquist love)
Whenever I kiss you (ventriloquist love)
Your lips never move (ventriloquist love)

(Ventriloquist love)
Oh come on baby
(Ventriloquist love)
Have a little, have a little drink of water
Say something to me, no keep drinking, keep drinking...
(Ventriloquist love)
