Hanging 'round downtown by myself

And I've had so much time to sit and think about myself

And there she was like double cherry pie

There she was like disco Super Fly

I smell sex and candy, hey

Who's that loungin' in my chair?

Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?

Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

See, mama, that surely is a dream, yeah

Whoa, ooh, yeah

Hangin' 'round downtown by myself

And I've had too much caffeine, and I was thinkin' 'bout myself

And there she was, wearing that platform double suede

There she was like disco lemonade

And I smell sex and candy, hey

Who's that loungin' in my chair?

Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?

Mama, that surely is a dream, yeah

Say, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

Mm, oh, yeah

And I smell sex and candy here

Who's that loungin' in my chair?

Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?

Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

Say, mama, this surely is a dream, dig it

Mm, that surely is a dream, yeah

Say, mama, this must be my dream, oh, hmm

Ooh, yeah

Hm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, whoa

Yeah, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, ooh, whoa-oh, mmm

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
