Do da do do doo do doo a doo da doo da doo do do
If they gave out a prize for being dumb I know a guy who would win it
Just like an handle on a pot he's there but he's not in it
He'd like to have a girlfriend the worst way in the world
So he sits home a waitin' for the phone to ring hoping it'll be a girl
Girl you gotta keep your light on so I know where your at
Ain't but two kind of creatures that can see in the dark
That's an owl and a pussy cat
Ain't nobody gonna come calling unless you lay out that welcome mat
Girl you gotta keep your light on so I know where you're at
Do da do do doo do doo a doo da doo da doo do do
One time I knew a homely gal and we called her double ugly
Thirty five fourty five sixty six that she wore fit snugly
But man she had the boy friends they'd stand in line and wait
She had a million dollars and she told the town she was looking for a mate
Well girl you gotta keep your light on...
Well girl you gotta keep your light on so I know where you're at
