− | All the cabbies swear there’s no finer fare than Babs.
| |
− | Certain gals say she holds nothin’,
| |
− | Would you call that jealousy?
| |
− | I’d say she holds nothin’,
| |
− | Nothin’ but T.N.T.
| |
− | I love that Babs with her funny little “doo dabs”.

| |
− | | |
− | She’s so easy on the eyes,
| |
