BAYWATCH

Lying on my back, staring at the sky

The maddening crowds are out of sight

The soft white sand beneath me is warm

From the summer sun beating down all day

Waves licking shores with wet frothy tongues

Its perfect! No wonder they call this lovers’ bay

You’re lying beside me and I sneak a glance

Wondering what is taking you so long

To reach out for me and carry me off

On the wings of love to a world far beyond

You’re staring at something on the road in the distance

Parked right there is a spanking new car!!

With fancy headlights and real neat wheels

See? Women ARE from Venus and men? From Mars!
