Let's Lock The Door (and Throw Away The Key)

Jay & The Americans

(door squeaks and slams)



(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



We met at a party last week

And the moment your eyes looked into mine

Right then, my lips forgot how to speak

And the soda started tastin' like wine



(How I wish everyone would go home)

(So I could say when I got you alo-o-o-one)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



We started to talk and you smiled

Sorta like you knew the way that I felt

You moved a little closer in a while

And I knew my heart was startin' to melt



(There was-a so much I wanted to say)

(But all the words came out this wa-a-a-ay)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-NO!)

(Oh, yeah NO!)

(Oh, yeah AHH!)



(I'll kiss your lips like a kiss oughta be)

(And then I know you'll be sayin' to me-e-e-e)



C'mon now!

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

(I can't wait to kiss you)

Oh, no!

(One little minute more)



(mixed scat to end)
