She Can’t Find Her Keys Lyrics By Paul Petersen

    da shada
    shada
    shada

    when i take my baby home at night
    i can’t wait to kiss and holdhertight
    but right thenthe time begins to drag
    when shestarts searchin’ through her bag

    pre
    she says just a moment please
    ican’tfindmy keys
    and here’swhat happens whilehe’s waitin’ for her squeeze

    she pulls out
    lipstick powder bubble gum and bobby pins
    but she can’t find her keys her keys
    curlers tweezers cold cream and candy bars
    but she can’t find her keys her keys
    nail files school books an autograph of fabian
    she can find with ease
    but i’m standin’ here yeah yeah waitin’ for a goodnight kiss yeah yeah
    ’cause she can’t find her keys yeah yeah

    post
    da shada
    shada
    shada
    she can’t find her keys

    i give up go home and go to sleep
    but next night my date with her i keep
    walk her home we start to kiss and then
    it all starts happening again

    pre
    she says just a moment please
    i can’t find my keys
    and here’s what happens while he’s waitin’ for her squeeze

    she pulls out
    gumdrops glasses magazines and tangerines
    but she can’t find her keys her keys
    presley records hairspray and jelly beans
    but she can’t find her keys her keys
    eyebrow pencils perfume and potato chips
    and portable batteries
    but i’m standin’ here yeah yeah waitin’ for a goodnight kiss yeah yeah
    ’cause she can’t find her keys yeah yeah
    but he’s standin’ there waiting for his goodnight kiss
    ’cause she can’t find her keys

    she pulls out
    frozen custard piano bench
    pretzels and a monkey wrench
    tennis racket army cots
    pumpkin seeds and coffee pots
    watermelons goal post
    a rabbit’s foot and french toast
    fire hydrant ash can
    tv set electric fan
    but she can’t find her keys
