Can I Do It Til I need Glasses?
Words and Music by Harvey Rubens and Bob Vernoff
Verse 1:
Mama said she was alarmed,
When she caught me in the barn.
Now, you know she didn't come up from behind.
She said (Mama's voice) "That ain't the way I taught ya.
It's a good thing that I caught ya.
Don't you know, if you don't stop it, you'll go blind?
Chorus:
Can I do it 'til I need glasses?
Can I stroke my spoke, can I fiddle my twiddly-dee?
I want to do it 'til the girls start making passes,
'Til I need glasses, just let me be.
Bridge:
When I'm feeling low,
(Chorus) Where do you go?
Oooh, X-rated show.
(Chorus) Wouldn't you know!
Oooh, Down in the front row, here I go.
(Chorus) You'll be blind by the time you count to
(with heavy breathing) 1, 2, 3 .....
Chorus:
Can I do it...
Verse 2:
Papa told me man to man,
(Papa) "You'll grow hair upon your hands.
If you don't stop, you know you'll lose your mind."
Now, maybe there's something to it,
But it feels so good to do it that when they say,
(Chorus) "If you don't stop it, you'll go blind." I say,
Chorus:
Can I do it...
