I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
|
And that was all that I needed
|
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
|
And that was all that I needed
|
Well, then I felt at ease
|
But then I'm not too hard to please
|
I guess you couldn't call me greedy
|
Then I was shocked to look up
|
And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy
|
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair
|
And that was all that I needed
|
And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men just to even see her"
|
|
Take, take, take
|
Take, take, take
|
Take, take, take
|
|
And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
|
And that was all that I needed
|
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
|
And that was all that I needed
|
Then I said, "i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?"
|
And that was all that I needed
|
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
|
And that was all that I needed
|
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
|
And that was all that I needed
|
Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see
|
That that was all that I needed
|
I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'
|
So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor?"
|
That was all that I needed
|
She was kind and posed with me
|
Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting
|
|
Take, take, take
|
Take, take, take
|
Take, take, take
|
|
She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep,"
|
And it seemed so mean
|
It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being
|
She said, "good night" and walked away
|
And I didn't know what to say
|
I just couldn't believe it
|
Well, it's just not fair
|
I want to get a piece of hair
|
That was all that I needed
|
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek
|
I wouldn't wash it for a week
|
That would be all that I needed
|
But she didn't even care
|
That I was even there
|
What a horrible feeling
|
