Teenage Love

Gregory was romantic
and new to teenage girls
his school mates up to antics
weak knees at Dottie's curls

she tests the football team
a better player than him
she's constant in his dreams
she finds him rather dim

he asks her out one day
but her friends are such a tease
they mess him all about
on dates he tends to freeze

his mates are just as dim
in this 80's funny movie
though his love life's looking grim
she's his pearl and very groovy 

so take a look tonight
and give a movie whirl 
it's a memory lane alight
nostalgic
'Gregory's Girl'
