Ita Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every night when I crawl home
I settle down to prime-time limbo
When all the boys are gathered around
Shoutin' "Ita's on T.V."
[Verse 2]
And though the roaches are thick on the ground
Somebody goes to close our window
Keep the noise of the city down
Get a dose of integrity
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every week, in every home
She's got wholesome news for the family
[Chorus 1]
I believe, I believe in what she says, yes I do
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
Her magazine will get me through
[Verse 3]
Ita's tongue never touches her lips
She could always be my godmother
And though the desktop hides her hips
My imagination's strong
Every night when I crawl home
I settle down to prime-time limbo
When all the boys are gathered around
Shoutin' "Ita's on T.V."
[Verse 2]
And though the roaches are thick on the ground
Somebody goes to close our window
Keep the noise of the city down
Get a dose of integrity
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every week, in every home
She's got wholesome news for the family
[Chorus 1]
I believe, I believe in what she says, yes I do
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
Her magazine will get me through
[Verse 3]
Ita's tongue never touches her lips
She could always be my godmother
And though the desktop hides her hips
My imagination's strong
[Verse 4]
She's the sweetest thing I've ever seen
I'd like to take her out to dinner
But when I think about the places I've been
Probably hold my fork all wrong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every day and every night
She's the only one we can depend upon
[Chorus 1]
I believe, I believe in what she says, yes I do
I believe, I believe at the end of the day
Her magazine will get me through
[Pre-Chorus 3]
To every housewife through the land
There is no-one else they can depend upon
[Chorus 2]
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Instrumental Break]
2:12 - 2:46
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every day and every night
She's the only one we can depend upon
She's the sweetest thing I've ever seen
I'd like to take her out to dinner
But when I think about the places I've been
Probably hold my fork all wrong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every day and every night
She's the only one we can depend upon
[Chorus 1]
I believe, I believe in what she says, yes I do
I believe, I believe at the end of the day
Her magazine will get me through
[Pre-Chorus 3]
To every housewife through the land
There is no-one else they can depend upon
[Chorus 2]
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Instrumental Break]
2:12 - 2:46
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every day and every night
She's the only one we can depend upon
[Chorus 2]
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
Well, how could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Chorus 2]
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Outro]
Yes it's true
What Ita tells me to
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
Well, how could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Chorus 2]
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
How could I not believe what Ita tells me to?
[Outro]
Yes it's true
What Ita tells me to
