Lyrics

Doo do do do doo a doo do do do doo
On a bareback camel I rode across Egypt
Without water in the blisterin' sun
And in Spain I stood calmly without even a cape
In front of a bull but it was too tired to run
Bound, tied and gagged and nailed in a barrel
I went over Niagara, oh yes
But baby last night when you said you loved me
I turned into a quivering mess
Cause women do funny things to me
Women do funny things to me
I'm usually perfectly calm and collected
And fearless as I can be
But ruby lips, swingin' hips, bitter mouths, bitter sighs, pretty curls
Pretty girls I see do funny things to me
Without a guide or a gun I went a huntin'
Killed a tiger with my own bare hands
Without a rope, barefooted I climbed Mount Everest
And didn't get a blister on my hand
Through the Okefenokee I waded pass the gators
And the snakes and the skeeters and the flies
But baby last night when we started kissin'
I said Lord I can't stand it I'm gonna die
Cause women do funny things to me
Women do funny things to me
I'm usually perfectly calm and collected
And fearless as I can be
But ruby lips, swingin' hips, bitter mouths, bitter sighs, pretty curls
Pretty girls I see do funny things to me
Without a dog or a sled I walked across the Yukon
It was spring but it was forty below
And when they began to plan for the moon
Guess who volunteered to go
Yes I'm always ready to show my courage
And my extreme bravery
But baby last night when you talked marriage
You scared the living (bip) outta me
Oh, women do funny things to me
Women do funny things to me
I'm usually perfectly calm and collected
And fearless as I can be
But ruby lips, swingin' hips, bitter mouths, bitter sighs, pretty curls
Pretty girls I see do funny things to me
Funny things to me
Doo do do do doo
Funny things to me
Get away, I can't stand it
Doo do do do doo
