BURSTIN’ WITH COURTESY<br />
<br />
There I was in Bed, Bath, and Beyond®,<br />
When I ran into this stunning blonde.<br />
I stooped to help her up off the ground,<br />
And tried to think of something profound<br />
To whisper softly in her sweet ear,<br />
Something that would make my feelings clear.<br />
Told her I was glad this collision<br />
Hadn’t damaged my perfect vision.<br />
“I’m grateful that I’m able to see<br />
One hundred per cent of your beauty!”<br />
<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how far that’ll get me in.<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how much she’ll let me win.<br />
<br />
I was heading home from the office,<br />
When this redhead stepped onto the bus.<br />
Immediately I felt the heat<br />
And gallantly offered her my seat.<br />
Seems crowded public transportation<br />
Can lead to some close conversation.<br />
She asked me if I owned a sports car;<br />
Said if I did, we could go pretty far.<br />
Went right out and bought a red Corvette.<br />
Gonna win big at race car roulette.<br />
<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how far that’ll get me in.<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how much she’ll let me win.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the computer back at my place,<br />
This brunette was invading my space.<br />
I e-mailed her a cordial welcome;<br />
She replied by calling me “Handsome.”<br />
A private message or two later,<br />
And I was all ready to date her.<br />
Said, “I believe in love at first byte;<br />
Let’s make love by the monitor’s light”<br />
She said she couldn’t wait to arrive.<br />
She wanted to check out my hard drive.<br />
<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how far that’ll get me in.<br />
Burstin’ with courtesy,<br />
Flirtin’ with her to see<br />
Just how much she’ll let me win.<br />
<br />
