Why Am I So Gone (About That Gal) Lyrics
[BARRY]
I'm flippin' for a chick that I just can't forget
[BIKERS]
Huh?
[BARRY]
It turns out she's a blonde. I like 'em jet brunette
[BIKERS]
What?
[BARRY]
So why am I so gone about that gal?
Her figure is a poem when she starts to dance
[BIKER 1]
I'm listenin'!
[BARRY]
But not for any cat who's seekin' plain romance
So why
[BIKER 2}
I don't know why
[BARRY]
Am I so gone about that gal?
I take her out to dinner once, you know? Real nice
Hey, I even put on a suit
[BIKER 3}
A whole suit, boss?
[BARRY]
Yeah, a whole suit
But when I try to kiss her, then what do I get?
[BIKER 4}
What do you get?
[BARRY]
An eye that's a beaut!
[BIKERS]
Get outta here!
[BARRY]
Yet every time she's near me, I begin to ache
What difference if she belts me if I'm on the make?
So why
[BIKER 5}
Oh, man!
[BARRY]
Am I so gone about that gal?
