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