I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
|
I've known her since God only knows, and I won't tell
|
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell,
|
And Shirley she knows me just as well.
|
|
I can tell you her birthday and her daddy's middle name,
|
The uncles on her Mamma's side and the ones they don't claim,
|
What she's got for Christmas since nineteen fifty two,
|
And that's only the beginning of the things I could tell you,
|
|
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
|
I've known her since God only knows, and I won't tell
|
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell,
|
And Shirley she knows me just as well.
|
|
I can tell you her fav'rite song and where she liked to park,
|
Any why to this very day she's scared of the dark,
|
How she got her nickname and that scar behind her knee,
|
If there's anything you need to know 'bout Shirley just ask me.
|
|
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
|
I've known her since God only knows, and I won't tell
|
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell,
|
And Shirley she knows me just as well.
|
|
I know where she's ticklish and her ev'ry little quirk,
|
The funnies she don't read and her number at work,
|
I know what she stands for and what she won't allow,
|
The only thing that I don't know is where she is right now,
|
|
But I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
|
I've known her since God only knows, and I won't tell
|
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell,
|
And Shirley she knows me just as well.
|
Ole Shirley she knows me just as well
