When I take my baby home at night
I can't wait to kiss and hold her tight
But by then the time begins to drag
When she starts searching through her bag
"She says just a moment please
I can't find my keys
And here's what happens while he's waiting for her squeeze"
She pulls out
Lipstick, powder, bubble gum and bobby pins
But she can't find her keys "her keys"
Curlers, tweezers, cold creme and candy bars
But she can't find her keys "her keys"
Nail file, school books, an autograph of Fabian
She can find with ease
But I'm standing here waiting for a goodnight kiss
Cause she can't find her keys
"Sha da sha da sha da she can't find her keys"
I give up go home and go to sleep
But next night my date with her I keep
Walk her home we start to kiss and then
It all starts happening again
"She says just a moment please
I can't find my keys
And here's what happens while he's waiting for her squeeze"
She pulls out
Gumdrops, glasses, magazines and tangerines
But she can't find her keys "her keys"
Presley records, hair spray and jelly beans
But she can't find her keys "her keys"
Eyebrow pencils, perfume and potato chips and portable batteries
But I'm standing here waiting for a goodnight kiss
Cause she can't find her keys
"But he's standing here waiting for a goodnight kiss
Cause she can't find her keys"
She pulls out
(Frozen custard, piano bench, pretzels and a monkey wrench
Tennis racket, army cots, pumpkin seeds and coffee pots
Watermelons, goal post, a rabbit's foot and French toast
Fire hydrant, ash can, TV set, electric fan
BUT SHE CAN'T FIND HER KEYS! )
