Everything started out cool
She asked me if I’d be her Valentine
She was on the cover of Playboy
I thought I was the next Jim Morrison
You know what’s fun about getting old
It’s almost like being young again
Time goes by
And gives life a whole new meaning

Kymberly was so beautiful
And she was sweet to me
She was breaking into movies
She was a ghost in Ghostbusters
A daughter in Romancing the Stone
‘She Got Legs’ for ZZ Top
And for some reason
She got the hots for me 🙂
She was funny too
She could squirt saliva from the back of her tongue
Like a lizard for a Lizard King
She could surf and ride a horse
All before I was a monk of course
lol

I guess I thought I was pretty cool
On a double date in San Rafael
At a fancy restaurant on a hill
A guy looked out the window
And gave us two thumbs up
A lady saw me grab some chairs
And said, “What a gentleman he is”
I ordered 4 double Kamikaze’s
It was all a perfect scene
Till I spilt them on pretty parts of Kymberly
You only got to see in the magazine

She jumped up and ran to the ladies room
I asked a lady what was happening inside
“A girl’s pouring a drink out of her shoe”
“She’s blowdryin’ her braw on the hot air machine”
“And I think she’s cussin’ at you”

While she was freshening up
I decided to too
When I was done, the Maitre’d was waiting
“Sir your friends are seated, follow me”
As we walked between the tables
And through the dinning room
Everybody was looking
And I started feeling cool again
Till Kymberly said, “What’s that on your shoe?”
I looked down and this real long piece of toilet paper
Was trailing behind stuck to some gum
Squished to the side of my pointy toed
Tony Lama black Iguana skin boot

The moral of the story is
If you’re feeling funky, uptight and worried
Like you took your shoes off
And stepped in a turd
If one minute you’re Jim Morrison
And the next you’re a nerd
Let time go by
Keep on lovin’
Cuz’ before you know it
You’ll be young again
