Baby Jump

Hair hanging down her back
She wears those seethrough sweaters
She likes to wear her stocking black
And if I see her tonight
You can bet your life I'll attack.
She got beautiful teeth
A toothpaste adman's dream.
She got a beautiful form
The best I've ever seen.
I' gonna get her tonight
I don't care where she been.
Well
I said baby
Baby
Baby what you doin' to me.
I said baby
Baby
Baby what you doin' to me.
I said baby
Baby
Baby jump into my dream.
I dream that she was Lady Chatterley'n
I was the game keeper.
I dream that I was Da Vinci and
She was the Mona Lisa.
I dream that I was Humbert and
She was Lolita.
I said baby
Baby
Baby what you doin' to me.
I said baby
Baby
Baby what you doin to me.
I said baby
Baby
Baby jump into my dream.
