lyrics

When I ran away to California,
To find a cure for the stars in my eyes
I always thought someday I'd come back to Georgia,
To find you, darling, and become your bride.

I thought by now, I'd be in the movies
Sipping champagne with all the stars out there
But directors here, if they don't know your name, dear,
They don't look, they don't even care.

Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darling.
Hollywood's got a moat called LA.
Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darling.
Swimming it is like winning the lottery.

It's funny the things you do when you lose everything,
When a chemical becomes your only friend.
My breakfast spoon is warming over a candle
So I can feel like I'm in heaven again.

I got raccoon eyes, and holes in my stockings,
platinum hair with roots down to my ears,
big black veins up and down my arms, dear...
and all the while, I wish you were here.

Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darlling.
Don't you try to come and find me now.
Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darling.
Try to forget about me somehow.

Oh......What a shame I've become.

With my raccoon eyes and holes in my stockings...
Waiting on the corner for a ride.
Sometimes I don't even know my name, dear.
Sometimes I wish I'd curl up and die.

Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darling.
I wish I knew the right words to write.
Toodle oo, Toodle oo, my darling.
I've got to go, I've got to say goodbye.

Dancy Connecticut

the duo met while in a mutual rock fusion-y band: organic chemistry. somewhere along the way nancy wanted to sing live and dan wanted to do the same, so dancy was born.

apart from the typical ukulele and acoustic guitar played by nancy and dan respectively, additional instrumentation includes but not limited to: spoons, percussion, drums, bass, electric guitar, organ, squeeze box, etc. ... more
