Bumper Car Blues

Love you in the morning

Love you in the afternoon

Love you in the sunshine

Love you by the light of the moon

Love you bumper car riding, sliding, gliding too.

 

You look hot in yellow

Smashing in caribbean blue

You look regal in magenta

And royal purple really lights your fuse

But you look best in nothing with the shades drawn & your high-heeled shoes

 

Never thought you’d leave me

Never thought you’d say we’re through

Never thought you’d walk out that door

And leave me oh-so-blue

Guess you were always a quitter, hitter, & bitter too

 

But you came back honey

Brought me my evening news

Came in through the window

Wow – you are nimble on your shoes

You’re like a cat when you’re happy

A tiger when you’ve got the blues

 

Guess we’re not the couple of the year

Or even the week

We’ve had so many troughs

Lord knows we’re due for a peak

Can’t get much worse, but I think we’re on a winning streak
