Lyrics

	I want you to take me out.
	I want you to bring me downtown.
	I want you to, oh, show me around.

	I want you to take me out.
	I want you to bring me downtown.
	I want you to, oh, yeah.

	I’m only gonna wear my long jacket,
	Sit in the corner with a cigarette,
	Make you see if I’m, oh, yeah.

	And if your friends wanna look,
	Well, that’s ok in my book.
	It really, oh, gets me off my hook.

	I know I may look a little square.
	I know I look like a wooden chair,
	But I got, oh, yeah.

	And in the words of James Brown,
	I’m sorry, but I came to get down.
	I’m sorry but I, oh, yeah.

	I told you to take me out.
	I told you to bring me downtown.
	I told you to, oh, show me around.
