| Now gather folks and lend an ear, I tell you I'm just pickled tink to be here. |
| I came across on a Concorde jet, a trip two old ladies would never forget. |
| They said to the guy with the captain's hat, "Don't fly faster than sound because we want to chat." |
| This gal at the airport security said she'd have to search me thoroughly. |
| "Why that's an insult," my manager reckons, but I didn't care, I went back for seconds. |
| I went to this cafe and I had lobsters, oysters, soup of the day. |
| The waitress brought me fries and steak and apple pie and chocolate cake. |
| "What'll I wash it down with, Miss?" I calls, she says, "How about Niagara Falls." |
|
| I tell this big guy the name of my hotel, I said, "What's the quickest way to get there, pal?" |
| He said, "You take the subway to Washington Square, Washington Square you're almost there." |
| Well on the subway I can see, folk 'round here love poetry. |
| There's "I think married life is grand, it's just my husband that I can't stand." |
| And he who laughs when things go wrong has just thought of someone he can blame it on. |
| It's on the ceiling and it's on the floors, "I upped my income--up yours!" |
|
| Now there was a gal sitting next to me on the train with a figure that would drive a man insane. |
| I says, "I'm a stranger around here, Miss, could you direct me to where your house is?" |
| We got off at Union Street and her apartment was cool and neat. |
| She slipped off my jacket as we walked in, she said, "Kick off your shoes, pour me a gin." |
| I started to pour, I said, "You will say when," she said, "Right after I finish that gin." |
|
| Now by time I poured myself a beer she had changed into something cool and sheer. |
| She stood real close and she smelled divine, and as she pressed her soft, red lips to mine, |
| I heard a knock, I heard a roar, she said, "That's my husband at the door." |
| I said, "I'll jump out the window, he sounds vicious," she said, "We're thirteen floors up," I said, "I'm not superstitious." |
|
| The door burst open and in he came, I hid my face in fear and shame. |
| I turned my back as I buttoned my shirt and I prayed to God I wouldn't get hurt. |
| I turned and nervously opened one eye and I was face to face with this huge guy. |
| Then I heard his voice cut through the air, he said, "I thought I told you to get off at Washington Square." |
|
| So let me shout it loud and clear, I'm glad to be alive and I'm glad to be here. |
| Oh yeah! |
