Lyric

You say you're gonna set me up 
with a girl as sweet as wine 
you ask me how bout friday night 
and i say well friday's fine 
but first i'd like to know a thing or two about this dame 
what's she like and what about the size and shape of her fine frame 
is she brunette or blond, and boy the way you start to stall 
i have to wonder if this woman has any hair at all 

don't blow sunshine up my skirt my friend 
don't be pullin on my chain 
don't you try and jive a jivin man like me 
do you think that i was born just yesterday? 

you tell me that you got a car 
that you want to sell to me 
this ride is fine you say just needs a little tlc 
it's got brand new tires and battery 
the body's clean and straight 
and for what you're askin I ain't hooked but i just might take the bait 
you're gonna cut me such a deal cause i'm so close to your heart 
round now i start to thinkin will the motor even start 

don't blow sunshine up my skirt my friend 
don't be pullin on my chain 
don't you try and jive a jivin man like me 
do you think that i was born just yesterday? 

you tell me that you like my suit 
and the shirt and tie i wear 
you even claim to envy all my thick and shiny hair 
you like my car, you dig my girl, you think they're outta sight 
well i been meanin to talk to you bout that car, and she's not my girl alright? 
you'd like your shoes to shine like mine and you mean to ask me how 
oh brother tell me what you gonna try and sell me now 

don't blow sunshine up my skirt my friend 
don't be pullin on my chain 
don't you try and jive a jivin man like me 
do you think that i was born just yesterday? 

you must think my noodles slipped off the plate 
and i would have to agree 
cause you fooled me twice so shame on me
