PICK UP LINE
Nose is way down low in front on my car
Up in back, but it doesn’t go so very far
Finished in the summer when I first met you
While I was havin’ a Coke, or maybe two.
Down at the drive-in I first saw your pony tail
Bouncin’ in time to little Richard’s loud wail
I almost dumped my drink on my leather seat
I had to watch you sway as you walked so neat.
I started the roadster to follow you up the block
The engine was purrin’ as the radio began to rock
It’s the Wolfman somewhere south of the border
This was a situation that had to be made to order
I pulled my Deuce up real close to the left curb
You were the only person here I wanted to disturb
The engine was rumbling so I talked up extra loud
You smiled and the moon ducked behind a cloud.
I don’t know what I said, but it had to be real good
Next thing I know you are sittin’ where you should
Right here beside me with my hand on your knee
My new hot rod is rollin’ on with just you and me.
