Ja, I actually like the song, and I've been a 
Dionne Warwick fan ever since, but for cryin out
loud, the lyrics are stupid.  Has she ever heard
of a MAP?  All this time we were told women didn't
mind asking directions.  Most gas station people
have a least a vague notion of where San Jose
might be found.

Those lyrics are so dumb, it reminds me of the
Dana Carvey comedy routine "Chopping Broccoli".
The routine is about how rock and roll songs
have lyrics that are so dumb, you are certain
that they just made them up on the spot, just
started strumming the guitar and singing whatever
came to mind.  He came up with this:

There's a lady I know
If I didn't know her
She'd be the lady I didn't know.

And my lady, she went downtown
She bought some broccoli
She brought it home.

She's chopping broccoli
Chopping broccoli
Chopping broccoli
Chopping broccoli

She's chopping broccoli
She's chopping broccoli
She's chop.. ooh!
She's chopping broccola-ah-ie!
