Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)

[Connie:]

Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:]

Well now, let's take it from the top & grab some wheels

& on the way we'll talk about some cuckoo deals.

[Connie:]

But Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:]

Now you're on my wavelength and I'm readin' you just fine.

Don't cut out of here till we get on Cloud 9.

[Connie:]

But Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:]

I've got smog in my noggin
Ever since you made the scene

[Connie:]

You're the utmost!

[Edward:]

If you ever tune me out...dead, I'm the saddest, like a brain

[Connie:]

The very utmost. 
Kookie, lend me your comb. 
Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:]

Man, I got my bruise lighters in my flapsy-colored pen

You're gonna send me to that planet called...

You know it, baby, the End!

[Sax solo]

[Connie:]

Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:] 

If you ever cut out, Then I'd be a stray cat

'Cause when I'm flyin' solo, nowhere's we're I'm at!

[Connie:]

Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

[Edward:]

What's with this comb caper, baby?

Why do you wanna latch up with my comb?

[Connie:]

I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. 

You're the maximum utmost.

[Edward:]
Well, I beans & I'm dreamsmville I'm movin' right now

'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...

Baby, you're the ginchiest!
