You’ve Got the Right String Baby but the Wrong Yo-Yo Lyrics by Stampfel & Weber

Going Nowhere Fast

1981

You got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Somebody’s hangin’ ‘round my door
And I went last night to the hardware store
I gotta brand new string for my yo-yo
When the doctor had the string put on
He made a mistake, put the string on wrong
Now he’s hangin’ ‘round my back door
He got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Yo-yo and string, they used to fit so fine
I recall that used to be the case with mine
But you can’t live in the good old days of yore
You’ve got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Everywhere I go, I hear the same damn thing
Seems like therе’s a yo-yo problem with a string
I just nod my head and say I told you so
You got the right string, baby, but thе wrong yo-yo
Hurry hurry hurry hurry, run and tell the king
Tell him there’s a yo-yo problem with the string
Fire, flood here, famine, war and woe
You got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
There ain’t a single thing the king can do
‘Cos the royal yo-yo got the problem too
The human race is reelin’ from a mortal blow
You got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Somebody’s hangin’ ‘round my door
And I went last night to the candy store
Gotta brand new strings for my yo-yo
Went to the doctor, had the string put in
[?]
Now he’s hangin’ ‘round my back door
He got the right string, baby, but the wrong yo-yo
