I said howdy there lady
|
This sure is some party
|
I've never seen anything
|
Like this before
|
She said howdy there honey
|
It's just barely started
|
If you think this is something
|
Just stand here some more
|
|
Then she looked at me
|
Then she laughed at me
|
Then she lifted her glass to me
|
And the rest they say is history
|
|
I said that girl in the corner
|
She looks so pretty
|
Oh the girls all around her
|
She makes 'em look plain
|
Lady I need a drink
|
Can I bring you another
|
I'm hoping these bubbles
|
They might know her name
|
|
Well she looked at me
|
Then she laughed at me
|
Then she handed her glass to me
|
And the rest they say is history
|
|
But when I returned
|
Champagne in my hands
|
There stood two strangers
|
Where we both did stand
|
And the lady was gone
|
And the evening wore on
|
And the girl in the corner
|
Was never alone
|
|
But she looked at me
|
Then she smiled at me
|
Then she turned her eyes away from me
|
And the rest they say is history
|
|
Tim he was tall
|
And Susan was smart
|
And Francis she looked
|
Like a fine work of art
|
Melissa was sad
|
But that made her sweet
|
And Dan and Elaine
|
Had the world at their feet
|
|
Debra had Pliny
|
Lisa had Tony
|
And the girl in the corner
|
She could've had anybody
|
Richard was cool
|
And Tubb he was funny
|
And the tarot card lady
|
She had everyone's money
|
|
So I said my goodbyes
|
When it came time to leave
|
And as I walked out
|
Someone pulled at my sleeve
|
She said honey we never did officially meet
|
But I sure am happy you came
|
|
She said that girl in the corner
|
She's more than pretty
|
And man you're not the first
|
To look over her way
|
But if you still wanted
|
I could introduce you
|
But you never will be the same
|
|
Then she looked at me
|
Then she laughed at me
|
Then she extended her hand to me
|
And the rest they say is histroy
|
