| Song Lyrics: |
I was settin' in Friday's suckin' on a glass of wine
When in walked this chick who almost struck me blind
Had wet blue eyes and her legs were long and fine
On a scale of one to ten I'd give her a nine
Now on my scale there ain't no tens you know
Nine is bout as far as any chick can go
So I flashed her a smile, but she didn't even look at me
So for brains and good judgment I'd give her a three
I said,"Hey sweet thing, you look like a possible eight
You and me could make eighteen if your head's on straight"
She looked up and down my perfect frame
Then said these words that burned into my perfect brain
She said,"Well, another one of those macho-matician men
Who grade all women on scales of one to ten
And you give me an eight, well that's a generous thing to do
Now let's just see just how much I give you"
She said,"You comin' on to me with that corny numbers jive.
Your style makes me smile, I give it a five
When you walked up, I noticed that suit of yours
It's a last-year's double-knit frayed-cuff, I give it a four
That must be your car parked out on the curb
That's '69 homemade convertible a three and a third
Now as for that build, I guess you're less than a five
'Cept for your potbelly, I give that a ten for size
That wine you're pourin' might be fine to you
But I'm used to fine champagne, I give it a two
It's hard to tell what your flashin' smile is worth
I give it a six, you could use some dental work
But it's your struttin' rooster act that really makes me laugh
It may be a ten to these country hens, but to me a three and a half
And there really ain't too much to add once the subtractin's done
But since there ain't no zeroes, I give you a one"
Then she walked out while up and down the line
The whole bar was laughin', said Bare, what happened to your nine
Nine says I, hell, soon as she started to talk I knew
This b***h didn't have no class, I barely give her a two
Yeah, no matter how good they look at first, there's flaws in all of them
That's why on a scale of ten to one, friend, there ain't no tens
(I B Emerson) |
