laurie from on velvet by RATIGAN

laurie, you've got your bowling league tomorrow night
yeah friday night thats bowling night
lets get this ball rolling alright
you've already made todays commission and tomorrow you'll be kissing a new golden trophy your cheeks so blushed and rose punch drunk and slowly hoping someone will love you somebody loves you
they love your forty-niners windbreaker your short blonde hair and love of limburger cheese oh laurie please don't quit your day job
i know you almost bowled a perfect game 299 thats only one away you're babies crying out your name the sitters making out with shane thats your sitters boy toys name you said no boys tonight lisa but she did it anyway
go home and kiss your daughter on her brain hold her tight tuck her in
on both sides

don't make it boring large
you've got the whole wide world in the palm of your hand put your three fingers in the holes of the earth and roll it to the moon
sing it out of tune
