Girl in a shop.

After the brandy and Mandy and Rita and Faye Dunaway,
what did that girl in the corner shop say?
'you'll be sorry
you'll be sad
you'll wake up tomorrow and you'll be feeling real bad'
she was of course right
I should have put last night on the back burner
and turned over a new page.
She is my sage,
her name is on the door above the shop
she's licensed to sell tobacco and the alcohop pop
that I so like.

Mike, her old man looks at me dead pan
he knows what I come for
and it's nothing that's written above the front door
Cor..
but she's sweet
I'd like to treat her
meet her socially
but that's not going to ever be
when she's wed
I'm fed up.
