Lyrics

Itchy, itchy goo

Feeling of discomfort or irritation, possibly metaphorical

Got me thinking of you

The sensation of itchiness reminds the speaker of someone

Itchy goo, itchy goo

Repetition of the itchy feeling, expressing a fixation

Oh, baby, i love you

Linking the itch with love for someone ("baby")

Itchy goo, itchy goo, itchy goo goo goo

Intensification of the itchy feeling, emphasizing desire

It's all i want to do, whammo

Desire to engage in the activity associated with the itch

Itchy, itchy goo

Reiteration of the itchy sensation

There's a pile next to you

Connecting the itch with a physical presence ("pile next to you")

Itchy goo, itchy goo

Continuation of the itchy feeling with a change in color ("turnin blue")

And it's turnin blue

Further description of the changing state of the itch

Itchy goo, itchy goo, itchy goo goo goo

Repetition and emphasis on the intense desire and fixation

It's all i want to do, whammo

Reiteration of the desire to engage in the activity associated with the itch

You got me running in circles

Feeling of being disoriented or confused in pursuit of the itch

Like a pee-pee baby

Comparing the speaker's state to that of a baby, suggesting vulnerability

I'm so happy i just want to die

Paradoxical expression of extreme happiness and a desire for release

Cause this baby love

Attributing the intense love to a higher source ("up above")

It comes from up above

Encouraging someone to move closer in a romantic or intimate sense

Move on over

Requesting space or making way for a closer connection

I want to get closer

Reiteration of the desire for closeness and intimacy

Move on over

Expressing a playful desire to engage in trivial or foolish activities together

want to twaddle with you

Repetition of the desire to move closer in a suggestive manner

Move on over

Expressing a desire for satisfaction and fulfillment of urges

Satisfy my urges

A plea for assistance in dealing with the overwhelming itch

Please, please help

Repetition of the plea for help

I got the goo, goo itch

Explicit reference to the persistent and bothersome "goo goo itch"

You got me running in circles

Recurrence of the theme of being caught in a cyclical, confusing pursuit

Like a big-big baby

Comparison of the speaker's state to that of a large, helpless baby
