Too Drunk, Too Ugly, Too Old

Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm


Pardon me madam

Could I have this dance

I think that this evenin’

Could use some romance


I’ll give the bartender

A nod and a wink

We’ll whirl ‘round the floor

Then I’ll buy you a drink


She turned her head sideways

An’ looked at me cool

Said keep your big butt

Planted right on that stool


I gotta be honest

Don’t mean to be cold

But since you done asked me

You’re too drunk, too ugly, too old.

Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm


I got some ol’ gal’s number

An’ called for a date

Said let’s go to dinner

We won’t stay out late


We kin hit Mickey D’s

Then go for a beer

An’ maybe a nightcap

At a bar close to here


Then the line filled with silence

While she caught her breath

She was either real thrilled

Or I’d scared her to death


She said I know who this is

An’ I thought you’d been told

But let me remind you

You’re too drunk, too ugly, too old.


Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm


Well I stand on the corner

An’ sometimes I wait

With a sensuous stare

An’ a smile for my bait


An’ when a good looker

Stops for the light

I whistle her up

To see if she’ll bite


She says you drink beer for breakfast

An’ vodka for lunch

You don’t know a dentist

An’ you don’t bathe a bunch


But you stand here recruitin’

All brazen an’ bold

But I gotta tell ya

You’re too drunk, too ugly, too old.


Hmmm, hmmm

Hmmm, hmmm
