Unbearable Beauty In Chartreuse

Unbearable beauty in Chartreuse

A week ago, late at night
She came in Bill's bar
The way she walked, made her dress
Shimmer like the stars

With tall red hair and bright green eyes
Her hips were swinging loose
Such an unbearable beauty
All dressed up in chartreuse 

I tried resisting her allure
but I found it was no use
My eyes went wide, and couldn't hide
Staring at her caboose 

My friends soon found it funny
That I hadn't an excuse
I heard all them laughing 
As I took their lame abuse 

When she grabbed and kissed me
They tried to make a truce
But, I walked away, with this beauty
All dressed up in chartreuse
