Dark Stockings

It was first and goal with time running out And the home team needed to score. I sat on a barstool glued to the screen Till I saw you walk through the door. I missed the final seconds and the replay, too. Gave it up for a chance to flirt. You focused my attention on a brand new game By wearing dark stockings and a slit skirt. Dark stockings and a slit skirt, It’s all I’ve got on my mind. Dark stockings and a slit skirt, The really expensive kind. I’m tired of always watching from the sidelines. I know a little workout wouldn’t hurt. You’ve got me motivated for some one-on-one. You’re wearing dark stockings and a slit skirt. You could make me take my eye off the ball When the count is three and two. Might be top of the ninth with a runner on third, I’d be busy looking at you. But I’ll round those bases, make a diving slide, Then just smile and brush off the dirt. I’ll score the winning run, but you’ll earn MVP By wearing dark stockings and a slit skirt. Dark stockings and a slit skirt, It may be a worn cliché. Dark stockings and a slit skirt, But baby, I came to play. I’m finished with the pre-game and the warm up. The perspiration’s showing through my shirt. I’m ready for some action and I’m in the zone. You’re wearing dark stockings and a slit skirt.
