Blue eyes

I see you're all along sitting in the bar.
Can I sit down beside you, blue eyes?

Well, you see my boyfriend just went into the wash room
And he'll be right back
And he's seven feet tall
And he always carries a gun.

Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside you,
Can I buy you a drink, blue eyes?

I'm drinking Piper Heidsick champagne
That costs 35 $ a bottle.

Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside you
And I buy you a bottle of 35 $ Piper Heidsick champagne,
Can I drive you home, blue eyes?

I live in Philadelphia.

Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside you
And I buy you a bottle of 35 $ Piper Heidsick champagne,
And I drive you to Philadelphia,
Can I walk you to the door, blue eyes?

There's a big moat around my house
And it's full of crocodiles and alligators
And there's a terrible undertow.

Oh! Well, if I swim across the moat
And I avoid the crocodiles and the alligators
And I don't get sunk by the undertow,
Will you ask me to come in, blue eyes?

Well, you see... it's very late
And my mother is probably waiting up for me
And I think she washed the floor
And it's covered with newspapers
And besides, we got this big dog that
Whenever a stranger comes in,
He starts to bark and bites you,
And my father's worried about paying off the mortgage on the house
Which cost 5,322 $
And it's very late
And I've got to wash my hair
And I have to get up early for work.

You really don't want me to take you home, do you?

Well, you see it's very late
And my mother's probably waiting up for me.

You see, you don't really want me to take you home.

Well, you see it's very late.

You don't really like me, do you?
You really don't care about me.

Well, you see it's very late.

Never mind! Forget it!
