Blind Date
Lonely for so long now
so excited I can't wait!
My best friend had set me up
with someone on a date.
I showed up a little early
to pick up this date of mine.
I'd seen her face before
in a flick called Frankenstein.
She said she liked my suit and tie
I said I had a tailor.
She got a run in her panty hose
and started cussing like a sailor.
Arriving at the restaurant
where my best friend I spied.
He was standing in a corner
where he laughed so hard he cried.
She ordered the whole menu
she maxed out my credit card.
Suddenly I realized
life alone ain't quite so hard.
Finally I slipped away
and split out the back door.
I got myself a new best friend
and I don't date no more.
