lyrics

Three forms of media delivered a booty call
First, he pressed reply to her message from the mall
She was at a kiosk, trying out a new PC
She didn't mean to buy one, but they let you surf for free

Too-rah loo-rah, loo-rah, oh

She received his email just as Lauren came into sight
Her dress that day was scandalous, much to all the boys' delight
She tended her admirers with backup from her friends
As did our protagonist and she and he IM'd

He said he could be there in about a half an hour
She looked at the boys, so stupid under Lauren's power
She typed in her number, said to call when he was there
Her friends demanded details and she promised them she'd share

Too-rah loo-rah, loo-rah, oh

They rode the escalator up and down 'til two
Then they went outside to see what their best friend would do
Warnings and discussion, laughter running through their train
All of it cut off when, with a bling, her cell phone rang

"Hello?" she said and looked around, she said, "Oh, there you are"
She walked out to the curb and she got into his car
Her friends all held their breath until she got back out again
She'd said she'd be one minute, but they'd swear that she took ten

Too-rah loo-rah, loo-rah, oh

Back inside, they went upstairs, found Lauren and her crew
Our protagonist walked up and said "I've got something for you"
She held out a piece of paper, which Lauren did unfold
And when she'd read the note, she smiled and said she had to go

Lauren rode the escalator down and out of sight
It fell to our protagonist to try and shed some light
The phone call, the paper note, the emails were from Paul
It took three forms of media to make this booty call

"But why would you deliver this?" they said, "You like him, too."
Our protagonist replied, "This booty call's untrue
Lauren's getting picked up by her brother as we speak
I wish that I could see it, 'cause I think she's going to freak"

Too-rah loo-rah, loo-rah, oh

Three forms of media delivered a booty call
First, he pressed reply to her message from the mall
