what's going to do As long as it don't get too drastic then we can't lose Don't blame the middleman, come to me I'll tell you what I can: all you need Cut out the middleman, wait and see. It was you that told me the aliens had landed And it was you that told me the end had just begun <Chorus> But now we're in this thing together You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside You said you'd stay with me forever Where are you now when I need you as my alibi? You left me all alone in my hour of need I tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me <Chorus> Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, come to me Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, all you need Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, wait and see <Chorus>
