If You Can'T Beat the Mosquitoes
If you Can't Beat the Mosquitoes

If you can't beat the mosquitoes
And you're at the drive-in show
Just grab a Pic at the snack bar
Light it up and watch it glow
Sit it on your dash board
Watch the smoke come off the ring
The mosquitoes soon are gone
'Cause they can't stand that thing
Now settle back and watch the show
The speaker's on your door
Your arm's around that special girl
You hope she thinks you're not a bore
She would not have accepted
When you asked her on this date
Especially not to the drive-in
If she thought you were second rate
You teeth are brushed your breath is fresh
Canoe is on your face
You're as ready as you'll ever be
In the car and at this place
So close you feel her breathing
Smell the perfume from her skin
You know you want to kiss her
Where oh where should you begin?
Move your hand a little lower
A little farther towards her chest
The pic went out the mosquito's back
He bit your hand that little pest!
Th mood is lost your hand it smarts
And now what will you do?
Relight the pic to smoke again
And start your date anew
