Barry Manilow Saved My Life

What's a simple man like me Doing in this part of town Especially at a time like this When the sun is going down I crank my Barry Manilow Up on my cassette deck radio Letting all the boys round here know That I'm down with the sound and flow That's when this old rusty Ford Creaks up to the light His girlfriend turns and gives a wink And a great big green teeth smile I get the notion then and there That he's the jealous type As he spits a wade of tobacco juice All over my Pintos driver side Steps down from his conglomerate Lumbers over to me The kids in school are sure to hear of this As I'll soon be history Roughly pulls me out the window Shaking me off like a bad habit Saw my life flash before my eyes Luckily I had enough sense to reach out and grab it Just then he catches the music That's now playing loud and clear Turns with a look plastered to his face Asking who is that he hears I tell him Barry Manilow He's the one who writes the songs Just then he starts a-humming If he knew the words he'd sing along His girlfriend calls up all their friends Who quickly show up to the scene Looks like we got us a Copacabana With the lights flashing from red to yellow to green It all came to a climax As Barry, Mandy sang There wasn't a dry eye on the street that night As I quickly saddled my Pinto and drove away I let out a huge sigh of relief As I sped through all the lights With "Looks Like We Made It" blasting through the stereo Thanking Barry Manilow, once again for saving my life
