I thought she’d like my kind of cool. I’m old enough to strut my stuff And not too windy to play the fool.
Girls ought to tangle with someone like me; I’ve got my backchat on a plate... Sure of a hit with the whiz-kid wit That livens up a date.
Then something came between us....me and this girl.... Something she didn’t want to say.... Something I’d find if I had the mind To make our evening go by okay.
When we were half way home I sussed the thing out. I had my best yarn on the go.... Then learned the gag that a five-star wag Would never want to know.
CLARINET AND PIANO INTERLUDE
My talk had lost its usual facility. Her lips were mingling with mine. I heard her plead: “We have a need. Shut up and let this love hold the line.” I don’t go out with Mabel....not anymore. We don’t have reasons for the ride. Quiet as a mouse in our corny house, We live side by side…. Quiet as a mouse in our corny house, We live side by side. |
