If You Can'T Beat the Mosquitoes

If you Can't Beat the Mosquitoes By Franklin Price 1/11/2016 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
