Ms Mona Lisa
Walked into the diner
Sat down at the bar then I saw her
A woman so fine she could be a painting
A masterpiece with an elegant gleam
Ms Mona Lisa glanced my way
Embarrassed and afraid
I looked at the game
As to vacate my eyes from her view
Dolphins ahead by a few
I'm behind by a lot
Looked back at the broad
Waddled over to the bar
Five seats over, but why so far
I watched her take a seat
To the tender she said I'll drink
A gulp of whisky please
So polite, well mannered and sweet
I hung my head and sighed
A girl like that wouldn't want a guy
Such as me
Oh but all of the sudden
In a half of a second
Mr. feeling came over
Grabbed my shoulder
Lifted me abruptly
And urged me
To stand up and scream
Oh baby baby it surely does seem
That I've fallen in love with you again
Won't you walk my way
So with you I can spend the day
But wait it's just a facade
See my brains a little odd
They say life is just a dream
Oh but life to me is just a drink
That I've gone drunk over
Been in a slump since October
Another day gone by
Where I can't stand by your side
Oh well oh well
Let another boat sail
And I'll see you in my dreams
Until I see you again
Oh until we meet my friend
