I watch you walk upon the streets of London. Your mini-skirt stretched tight, and looking sweet. I watch you walk, and walk into a lampost. I didn’t see, upon the London street… So turn your back, and wiggle softly from me!. With mini-skirt, (perhaps, no underwear!). Your legs are great! But, by the Gods above me!. I watch your wondrous London derriere! ---

Sometimes I get to thinking that I’ve passed this point in life one time before. Like the re-run of some movie that I saw a thousand Saturdays ago. And I get the feeling that I know exactly what your gonna do and say before it happens in each scene. I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation, when the punchline reaches out and punches me.
