   This tab looks best if viewed with a text-viewer (i.e. Notepad)
   It really looks awful in Word.

LYRICS:

I'd soak a towel
like a satellite
tight. . . tight. . . tight
norelco proctor silex hamilton
beach
cook-up some loving for ya
baby
electric blanket
keep the toes and the nose
warm
I'd soak a towel like a satellite
tight. . . tight. . . tight

	I found my paddle
	I found my paddle around
	midnight
	I found my paddle
	I found my paddle around
	midnight

cry baby show off
makes good. . . so proud
Mingus and Parker fuck for
breakfast
cause jazz is a slut again
I'd soak a towel
like a satellite
tight. . . tight. . . tight

	I found my paddle
	I found my paddle around
	midnight
	I found my paddle
	I found my paddle around
	midnight

do one
etc. . .
