I could learn to read Vietnamese by myself
You can get love from your Momma or your Pappa
I must admit it gets me in the solar plexus
Do I want you, is the Pope catholic
You mean this one by Chicago's Micheal Smith and performed by Steve Goodman at the Karma Coffee House in Montreal in 1972?

29 Jul 10 - 03:41 PM (#2954665) Subject: RE: lyr/Chords: Wonderful World of Sex (Michael Smith) From: Joe Offer The lyrics in the Digital Tradition are unattributed. They look like they're a transcription of Steve Goodman's way of singing the song, but they're not exactly the same as Goodman sings it on the No Big Surprise anthology. Here are lyrics from what claims to be an official Michael Smith website. I've corrected some spelling mistakes. I haven't heard the Michael Smith recording, so I can't be sure these lyrics are accurate - they don't seem quite logical in places, and I'm tempted to add a whole lot more punctuation than I did. -Joe- THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SEX (Michael Smith) I could learn to understand Swahili by myself I could even teach it to my good dog Ralph I could learn to read you every book upon the shelf I could learn to tell your fortune like the Oracle of Delphi I could learn to tell you every flower by its color I could learn to swim as fast as Johnny Weismuller But I couldn't ever learn to get along without you Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex Ah you can get love from your papa or your mama You can get warm from a turkish or a sauna You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna But you get all three when you make it with me I really must confess it gets me in the solar plexus When I think about the differences there are between the sexes Peanut butter sandwiches are really neat But when you get right down to it you can't compete with Good old S-double-E-double-X is Camper than Batman bigger than Texas You're concave and I'm convex Welcome to the world of sex Ah do I love you, is the pope Catholic? Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic? Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic? Let's us be heterosexually entwined. We'd fit like a tailored suit dear I dig you more than I dig root beer Green Giant peas need a big green pod I spend a lotta time needin' your bod And walkin' around through fields of clover Can't we lie down and talk things over? You never know what's coming off next, do you In The Wonderful World Of Sex © Michael Peter Smith 1966 Source: http://www.artistsofnote.com/michael/lyrics/w-w-sex.shtml I see that Michael Smith is represented by Joann Murdock of Artists of Note, Kaneville, Illinois - Joann is the wife of Great Lakes musician Lee Murdock, who does some good music, too. I think Michael Smith is the Mark Graham and Les Barker of the Great Lakes. -Joe, who has a dog named Ralph- |

For those looking for words/chords/music for Michael's songs, I remember him having produced a songbook of his work, and I suspect that Joann Murdock could let you know if it's still available. I don't think it had EVERYTHING he's written & performed in it, as I'd was looking for his reworking of the House Carpenter ballad I heard Anne Hills sing once live on the radio & hadn't been able to locate since. Don't think that was in it, or I'd have bought the book. Happy wonderful word singing, Joanne In Cleveland who IS in favor of sex. |

I'd hate to actually have them sing "...is Camper than Batman." What the h... is that?!! Try "it's faster than Batman" |

09 Sep 14 - 10:27 PM (#3658893) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords: Wonderful World of Sex (Michael Smith) From: Joe Offer Hmmm. I haven't used that word "camp" in that context for quite a while. Was that a 1980s word? Batman was the ultimate "camp" television series. It had sound effects like "boof" and "bam!" illustrated in comic-book-style speech balloons. "Camp" is a particularly corny form of tacky humor. Anybody got a more graphic definition? -Joe- |

11 Sep 14 - 03:03 AM (#3659217) Subject: Lyr Add: WONDERFUL WORLD OF SEX (Michael Smith) From: Jim Dixon WONDERFUL WORLD OF SEX Written by Mike Smith (except for last verse, apparently) As sung by Steve Goodman on "The Steve Goodman Anthology: No Big Surprise" (1994) I could learn to speak Vietnamese by myself. I could even teach it to my good dog Ralph. I could learn to read you every book on the shelf. I could tell your fortune like the oracle of Delph-i. I could learn to tell you ev'ry flower by its color. I could even swim as fast as Johnny Weissmuller, But I could never learn to get along without you. Don't you run away from me; I sure dig sex. Do I love you? Is the pope Catholic? Do I need you? Is a rubber band elastic? Do I want you? Is the atom bomb drastic? Let's be heterosexually Entwined; we fit like a Hong-Kong suit, dear. I dig you more than I dig root beer. Peanut-butter sandwiches are pretty neat, And when you get right down to it, it just can't compete With good old double-s-e-double-x. It's faster than Batman and bigger than Texas, And you're concave and I'm convex. Welcome to the world of sex. You can get love from your mama or your papa. You can get steam from a Turkish or a sauna. You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna, But you get all three when you make it with me. So— I can't remember the words to the verse. A short attention span is a mummy's curse. This song started out pretty good. I'll finish it someday; knock on wood. Mike Smith'd be embarrassed if he knew This is the one song of his I blew. You'd never know what's comin' off next (do you?) In the wonderful world of sex. |
