Over and over

Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back we'll give you play back.
Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back I'll give you play back.
Over and over and over and over and over,
Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal,
The joy or repetition really is in you.
Under and under and under and under and under,
The spell of repetition really is on you,
And when I feel this way I really am with you.

Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back We'll give you play back.
Over and over and over and over and over,
Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal,
The joy of repetition really is in you,
Under and under and under and under and under,
The spell of repetition really is on you,
And when you look this way I really am with you.

Doo doo doo do do do do do

I started thinking what you wanted him to you (hell you)
I got to thinking and I knew just what to do (hell you)
I started thinking what you wanted him to do (hell you hell you hell you)
