Foolishness On a Sunday Morning

Foolishness On a Sunday Morning

Now that guy's too old 
To go without a shirt;

His hair is white,
His belly like dirt.

But there's something in
The twinkle of his eye,

That turns my head,
Even though I'm shy.

I think he's not too old for me;
I'll smile at him,

And then we'll see.
If he smiles back, I think

I'll buy him a shirt,
But probably not pink.
