They’ll RUN YA' RAGGED racin’ around to dealerships and malls ‘til ya’ wind up BLOWIN' YOUR ENTIRE WAD on cars and FANCY THREADS! “Trust me, kid…I used to share a house with a gal in Boston who came damn close to BREAKIN' ME, and it just BLOWS MY MIND To think of what she PUT ME THROUGH. She TREATED ME LIKE DIRT… and I wound up spendin’ forty years FIGHTIN' THE SAME OLD GRIND! “So I’m gonna KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED hopin’ you’ll fair better before you THROW THE TOWEL IN ‘cause -- no one ever knows If and when they’ll come across a halfway decent woman… and might come out…WHEN THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED...SMELLIN' LIKE A ROSE!”
