| I met her | on the highway | in September
| I can still recall | that purple dress |
she wore. |
| in Sheboygan | at McDonald's | that little hat |
| outside Fresno | ridin' shotgun | that burlap bra |
| at a truck stop | wrestlin' gators | those training pants |
| on probation | all hunched over | the stolen goods |
| in a jail cell | poppin' uppers | that plastic nose |
| in a nightmare | sort of pregnant | the Stassin pin |
| incognito | with joggers | the neon sign |
| in the Stone Age | stoned on oatmeal | that creepy smile |
| in a treehouse | with Merv Griffin | the hearing aid |
| in a gay bar | dead all over | the boxer shorts |
| She was | sobbin' at the toll booth |
in the twilight |
| drinkin' Dr. Pepper | but I loved her |
| weighted down with Twinkies | by the off-ramp |
| breakin' out with acne | near Poughkeepsie |
| crawlin' through the prairie | with her cobra |
| smellin' kind of funny | when she shot me |
| crashin' through the guardrail | on her elbows |
| chewin' on a hangnail | with Led-Zeppelin |
| talkin' in Swahili | with Miss Piggy |
| drownin' in the quicksand | with a wetback |
| slurpin' up linguini | in her muu-muu |
| and I knew | no guy would ever love her more |
I promised her | I'd | stay with her |
forever; |
| that she would be an easy score | I knew deep down | warp her mind |
| she'd bought her dentures in a store | She asked me if | swear off booze |
| that she would be a crashing bore | I told her shrink | change my sex |
| I'd never rate her more than "4" | The judge declared | punch her out |
| they'd hate her guts in Baltimore | My Pooh Bear said | live off her |
| it was a raven, nothing more | I shrieked in pain | have my rash |
| we really lost the last World War | The painters knew | stay a dwarf |
| I'd have to scrape her off the floor | A Klingon said | hate her dog |
| what strong deodorants were for | My hamster thought | pick my nose |
| that she was rotten to the core | The blood test showed | play "Go Fish" |
| that I would upchuck on the floor | Her rabbi said | salivate |
| She said to me | our love would never die |
; But who'd have thought she'd | run off |
| there was no other guy | wind up |
| man wasn't meant to fly | boogie |
| that Nixon didn't lie | yodel |
| her basset hound was shy | sky dive |
| that Rolaids made her high | turn green |
| she'd have a swiss on rye | freak out |
| she loved my one blue eye | blast off |
| her brother's name was Hy | make it |
| she liked "Spy vs. Spy" | black out |
| that birthdays made her cry | bobsled |
| she couldn't stand my tie | grovel |
| with Tony Thaman | You'd think at least that she'd have said |
goodbye. |
| in my Edsel | I never had the chance to say |
| on a surfboard | She told her fat friend Grace to say |
| on "The Gong Show" | I now can kiss my credit cards |
| with her dentist | I guess I was too smashed to say |
| on her "Workmate" | I watched her melt away and sobbed |
| with a robot | She fell beneath the wheels and cried |
| with no clothes on | She sent a hired thug to say |
| at her health club | She freaked out on the lawn and screamed |
| in her Maytag | I pushed her off the bridge and waved |
| with her guru | But that's the way that pygmies say |
| while in labor | She sealed me in the vault and smirked. |
Yee Haw!
