And I can do the Frug
I can do the RoboCop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
And I can hate your girl
I can tell ya that she’s real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
And I can do the Frug
I can do the RoboCop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
(She cannot do the Smurf)
And I can watch TV
I can Shuffle Off to Buffalo
I can do a backbend
I will not call you back
And I can start a book
I can make some mac and cheese
I can sleep twelve hours
You’ll never see my eyes
And I can do the Frug
I can do the RoboCop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
(She cannot do the Smurf)
And I can hate your girl
I can tell ya that she’s real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
You’ll never see my eyes
I will not call you back
I cannot do the Smurf
I cannot fall in love
I’ll never fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I cannot fall in love
I can do the Frug
I can do the RoboCop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
