Lyrics
Hey there, Mister Photographer
That’s not where you should be
Let someone else get behind your cam’ra
And come over here with me
Chorus
I’d like my picture took
What do I have to do
To get my picture took?
Who do I have to be
To get my picture took with you?
I’d like to spark with you
Having the film developed
In the dark with you
Nothing I wouldn’t do
To get my picture took with you
Me sittin’ down, you standin’ up
Looking at the birdie will be fun
Hands in my lap, yours on your chest
Just like Napoleon
And someday we’ll take a look
Into a fam’ly album or a mem’ry book
‘Stead of a boring evening
We’ll be laughing at the picture
That I took with you
