Pretty Girl

I am a pretty girl
And you, sly butcher
Cleavers as eyes
Go on and take a slice
Of this pretty girl

I walk alone
Praying to be caught 
In a web of wild men
How did you know? 
This pretty girl was just as hungry as you 

Do away with the telescope
And come up close to see
This pretty girl 
Won't bite or howl
Because I am not an angry girl,

I'm a pretty girl.

Reminds me of a German girl who came to my table to ask if I was stupid to just sit there eyeing her sister instead of asking her to dance! Good luck! Aloha! Rico
