He picked me up at a greasy spoon made eyes at me

invited me back to his pad where we smoked some rad

Acapulco gold in our birthday suits cut to the next day

we split his crib lit out for the nearest watering hole

knocked back a few zingers and he starts giving me the

third degree

whereupon I advised him to butt out pronto he lights up a

cancer stick

butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth and get a load of this colossal

nerve

he tried to put the bite on me right there in the speakeasy

for a hundred clams like I would ever have that kind of dough

you can bet your sweet ass I told him where to go

he said well don’t have kittens about it and I hauled off and let

him have it

right in the kisser that’s basically all she wrote he wigged out

went ape busted up the place the barkeep called the long arm

of the law

and before you could say Jack Robinson they’d hauled

my new squeeze off to the hoosegow damages will cost him

an arm and a leg when he gets out of the slammer

serves him right the two-faced galoot the crumb the no-good souse

keeping my eyes peeled I noticed a hunky Hercules in blue

he waved his nightstick at me gave me the once-over

chatted me up turns out he was on the level got me all starry

eyed

and weak in the knees he’s got two left feet sure but what a

sweet

puss on him it’ll be a cold day in Hades before I take a powder

on this crew-cut Romeo, this dreamboat in uniform (he’s square

as the day is long but his heart’s in the right place) believe you

me.
