The city streets burst at their seams   And flood the earth with people's dreams   But you're only concerned with some new shoe   Once up Broadway, we had walked   My mind was racing as you talked   I wish that I could be as dumb as you   We bought the lampshades and the cars   The wind-up toys and cookie jars   Another swap meet and bazaar with you   But now your pointless lazy drawl   Puts me to sleep and then I fall   Into a place where I'm encased in glue   Chorus:   Keep it light (Keep it light)   And keep it loose (Keep it loose)   What's the fuss? (What's the fuss?)   And what's the use?   One night up in a penthouse suite   Your famous friends I got to meet   So nice to have my pinky painted blue   And now I hear your voice an' pour a drink   Don't you ever stop to think   Beyond the safe and sanctioned point of view   Chorus:   Keep it light (Keep it light)   You gotta keep it loose (Keep it loose)   What's the fuss? (What's the fuss?)   And what's the use?   The city streets burst at their seams   And flood the earth with people's dreams   But you're only concerned with some new shoe   So we'll still amble through the bars   And count the pretty colored jars   I still wish that I could be as dumb as you   As dumb as you   As dumb as you   Just as dumb as you
