Marriage Bureau Rendezvous

Well I've been lookin' after number one for too long

And it seemed the love was passing me by

So I thought I better do something about it

And that's why I'm sittin' here lookin' cross the table at you

That's why I'm sittin' here lookin' cross the table at you

Well a lonely man needs a Marriage Bureau

Where they sit you right down and you fill in a form

Would you like a blonde or a black or a blue rinse

Do you like 'em small, love 'em slim long and tall

Oh no, too many questions

I'm looking for a girl like Momma used to be

She's cooking up a dream, she's baking ecstasy

Won't it be fine when

I find her

Would I like to take her to a movie or the theatre

Would I pick her up at home or would I like to meet her

Somewhere we could take a good look at each other

Smile and say hello or walk away

So I'm squeaky clean in and out of the bath

I never shaved so close before

I'm gonna put on a tie, I'm gonna shine up my shoes

I'm gonna slick back my hair, I've got nothin' to lose

Oh, oh, I'll be stinkin' so good

like I'm drowning in a sea of cologne

Hey... do you know you remind me of someone

But I'm here making eyes at you

And I think we're gonna say goodbye to the bureau
