LORETTA'S FAVORITE SWEATER

BPM 110
1:
Don't tell my girl LORETTA her FAVORITE SWEATER got shrunk
I shoulda known much better
I used a hot wash when it said on the tag
"Forty degrees or it will be like a rag - an outa shape, small one at that"
2:
Don't mention to LORETTA her FAVORITE SWEATER got ruined cos that would upset her
Received it as a gift - her birthday last week
But now it's junk cos I'm a technophobe geek who never moves the dial on the machine
Bridge 1:
Just chuck things in and take a chance
Don't search manuals for a tip
Till now I just was lucky
She's gonna flip...
3:
...if she finds out her sweater - her FAVORITE SWEATER - is fit for only cleaning floors with
For sure she'd never get it over her head
Nor fit her arms into it
Wish I was dead!
Be in the dog house for at least a month
4:
I GOTTA STALL LORETTA!
Her FAVORITE SWEATER was just the kind she said she wanted
Must think of something so she don't start to fold the laundry
Atmosphere would quickly grow cold if she should stumble 'cross it
Think I'll just burn it!
Bridge 2:
At least that way "Don't know" I'll say
I'll simply plead ignorance when she says "Did you see it?"
Then we'll go out...
5:
...We'll go and buy LORETTA a new FAVORITE SWEATER to take its place
Well that's pure genius!
I'll still deny all knowledge of what became of her old favorite
New one won't be the same
Let's hope she'll love it more - or at least as much!
