(Dublin)
My eyes they almost popped
my jaw nearly hit the floor
My tongue came out and flopped
as she walked through the door
A body like I have never seen
in all my life before
Now where could she have been?
no man could ask for more
The whole room fell silent
but I could hear my heart thumping
It was sheer excitement
how fast my blood was pumping
As I turned ten shades of red
and could not catch my breath
I thought I would soon be dead
embarrassed to death.
I could not remove my eyes
no matter how I tried
Then she was surrounded by boys
and I almost cried
But then she just broke free
and slowly walked away
Oh God she was coming towards me
What was I going to say?
I prayed to God to be taken
to be stricken down somehow
My whole body started shaking
and sweat ran down my brow
I tried to speak but mumbled
I totally lost control
My thoughts became all jumbled
I could not think straight at all
But I must have said something witty
something must have come out
and as she laughed I thought what a pity
she had not got a tooth in her mouth!
So do not judge a book by the cover
look before you pounce
For like me you may discover
it’s what’s on the inside that counts!!
