===80's Prom Night=== | |||
<poem> | |||
Another lonely night | |||
Just like any other night | |||
I didn't know what I should do | |||
'Cause my friends were going out | |||
To a super secret show | |||
So I asked if I could go along too | |||
And I dug down deep for a skinny tie | |||
And I put one stud in my ear | |||
And said "Hey, little girl, | |||
Would you rock my world? | |||
'Cause I love who you are | |||
You look like a lucky star | |||
With that makeup on | |||
Just like a young Madonna" | |||
Hey, I'm in love again | |||
At 80's prom night | |||
She told me she was looking for the captain of the ship | |||
I told her I could man the wheel | |||
'Cause navigating ??? is a touchy feely thing | |||
And Italians understand the feel | |||
So I stepped right into her Danger Zone | |||
And I pulled her close on the floor | |||
And said "Hey, little girl, | |||
Would you rock my world? | |||
'Cause I love who you are | |||
You look like a lucky star | |||
With that makeup on | |||
Just like a young Madonna" | |||
Hey, I'm in love again | |||
At 80's prom night | |||
Let me tell you | |||
What we did | |||
We were dancing like | |||
Eighties kids | |||
With our sunglasses | |||
On at night | |||
The lights came on | |||
She said "C'mon | |||
Let's do it all again" | |||
So I stepped right into her Danger Zone | |||
And I pulled her close on the floor | |||
And said "Hey, little girl, | |||
Would you rock my world? | |||
'Cause I love who you are | |||
You look like a lucky star | |||
With that makeup on | |||
Just like a young Madonna" | |||
Hey, I'm in love again | |||
