Gum and a Mint From Your Pocket
The thought of meeting the love of your life
Can cause you to lose your cool
Stumbling over words and fidgeting about
Just like a boy out of school
It's a common reaction, it happens all over
We're all just following the rules
That surely were laid down many years ago
But it's still not kosher to drool
You open her door and bash her poor head
Embarrassed, you apologize profusely
You offer her gum and a mint from your pocket
And tell her she's a sweet li'l floozie
She looks at you strangely for that response
You barrel forth not blinking an eye
Just wanting to impress this gorgeous young lady
It gets worse the more that you try
In spite of the blunders and embarrassing stuff
Somehow she thinks it's all cute
The more you stumble and trip on your words
She loves you, you big galoot
To cut it short, she's my gorgeous bride
Although many long years have now passed
A lot of water's flowed under the bridge
But she's still got a fabulous ass!!!
