lyrics

Hey boys? Yes, Ellis?

Do you see that girl with the eyes that shine?
Make a big man feel like he’s 2 foot 9
Every breath passing through her lips
Makes a little man feel like he’s 10 foot 6

Tell me now boys what have I seen
Makes me wish I could afford a ring
Just one look and you know she can swing
She looks good enough to season greens

Having a hard time believing my eyes
Is that really her or am I going blind?
There ain’t no way she’s walking my way
But even just the thought is making my day
Tell me now boys give it to me straight
I cannot believe this is my fate
Her in the flowers what a beautiful scene
She looks good enough to season greens

I put my right sock on before my left
Every single day before getting out of bed
Because karma’s gonna get me any way she can
I pick up every single penny
Honest Abe staring up from a copper piece
Because bad luck is my luck and good luck ain’t for me

Hey boys? Yes, Ellis?

Smile real pretty, straighten them ties
She’s coming this way avert those eyes
This must be my lucky day
The stars in the sky must’ve rearranged
This time she’s within my reach
Make way boys I’ve prepared a speech
Excuse me miss but I really must sing
You look good enough to season greens

Just where did my sweetheart go
She was coming this way just a moment ago
Once the sun shined down on me
Then old man fate came barking up my tree
Come on boys show me the door
Can’t remember what I came here for
Just one look and you know what I mean
She looks good enough to season greens

I put my right sock on before my left
Every single day before getting out of bed
Because karma’s gonna get me any way she can
I pick up every single penny
Honest Abe staring up from a copper piece
Because bad luck is my luck and good luck ain’t for me

Hey boys? Yes, Ellis?

Just one look and you know she can swingShe looks good enough to season greens
