about

A song of unwanted advances across generations

lyrics

He shuffles out of his brand new convertible car
Thinks he's got a shot with the cute little girl at the bar
When he came in, she thought he was looking for help
Imagine her surprise when he started introducing himself

He was from a time she wished she was from
Except he was twenty five and she was twenty four

Told her she was pretty, looked 'just like Lauren Bacall
Assured her that his vintage was not a problem at all
He said
'I'm like a fine fine wine. I'm only getting better with time
This time what I'd like to do is spend a little more time with you'
She said
'It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't the age of my Dad
It wouldn't be obscene if you weren't a gentleman sleazebag'

He thought that he was funny, he thought that he was sweet
He said
'Hey pretty honey, come home with me. Cause I think that you're pretty'
'That's OK'
'I'm a silver fox'
'You're old and grey'

He was looking her up and down
She had to turn him down
She said
'You're not a fine wine, you're an old cheese
You are just a gentleman sleazebag'

'I think I'm a classic'
'I think you're a creepy'
It's nearly 7:30 time to go to sleep
'I think you've dropped your smile, love'
'I think you dropped your teeth'
'Those legs go on for mile'
'I don't know what that means'
You sleazebag
