[00:15.681]And the Lord God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was-light.
[00:24.595]And the Lord God said, 'Let there be man and woman'.
[00:29.790]And there was man and woman.
[00:32.775]And that night man asked woman if she was busy.
[00:38.698]And woman said,'Thank you', she'd have to check,
[00:42.697]but she's not interested in anything long term; she'd still want to see other people.
[00:48.447]Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...
[00:53.356]And man said,'There are no other people'.
[00:57.842]Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[01:04.038]And woman said, 'Okay, how about this:
[01:08.454]we get married, you vow your eternal love for me,
[01:12.754]I expel a bunch of miniature humans who are totally dependent on us for eighteen years,
[01:18.757]you get a job, you stay home weekends,
[01:21.747]and you never see another woman naked for the rest of your life.
[01:25.832]And man said...'Oh...'
[01:31.137]And then thousands
[01:32.508]and thousands
[01:33.144]and thousands
[01:34.018]and thousands of years passed.
[01:36.166]And as for man and woman.
[01:37.893]
[01:45.472]First date, new romance, clean shirt, pressed pants,
[01:48.636]brush the teeth, mousse the hair, Calvin Klein underwear.
[01:51.862]Mouth washed, toothpaste, bring the condoms, just in case.
[01:55.053]Listerine, take a swill, styling gel, Minoxidil.
[01:59.828]I will splash on musk. I will knot my tie,
[02:01.196]and before I go I will check my fly.
[02:06.004]It is women who have turned me into this:
[02:09.319]a coiffed-up and dry-cleaned guy.
[02:12.946]
[02:14.568]Facial cream from a spa, lingerie, Wonder Bra.
[02:17.783]Hair spray, hair spritz; wax the legs, shave the pits.
[02:21.063]Act petite, coy and pert, don't eat much,no desert.
[02:24.332]Sweet-'N'-Low, half-'n'-half, smile a lot, fake a laugh.
[02:28.761]I have primped and plucked. I have rubbed on Nair.
[02:32.023]I have spent two hours on my face and hair.
[02:35.171]And I did all this for a guy I barely know,
[02:38.355]and I bet he won't even care.
[02:41.555]
[02:42.213]I'll behave real well, show her just the good stuff only.
[02:48.525]I could weave a spell, if I lie about some things.
[02:54.635]I hope he's mature, unlike every guy I've dated.
[03:01.004]Still I will endure, somewhere, someone dreams of me.
[03:06.768]
[03:08.997]But I got baggage! Emotional baggage!
[03:16.345]A planeload of baggage...that causes much saggage.
[03:22.832]Everybody!
[03:24.045]We got baggage, emotional draggage;
[03:30.023]and we been lugging around this baggage a long, long time.
[03:35.295]Time...Shit!
[03:38.881]Will my hopes be met? Will my fear dispel?
[03:41.971]Will I captivate, or will I repel?
[03:45.134]Will I show him/her just how wonderful I am,
[03:48.352]or will I be a date from hell?
[03:51.899]
[03:52.283]First date, new romance, different partner, same dance.
[03:54.991]Ready now, almost time, here we go, doorbell chime.
[03:58.208]Facial cream from a spa, lingerie, Wonder Bra.
[03:59.824](I'll behave real well,)
[04:01.393]Hair spray, hair spritz; wax the legs, shave the 'pits.
[04:02.964](show her just the good stuff only.)
[04:04.518]Act petite, coy and pert, don't eat much, no desert.
[04:06.036](I could weave a spell,)
[04:07.646]Sweet-'N'-Low, half-'n'-half, smile a lot, fake a laugh.
[04:09.131](if I lie about some things.)
[04:10.697]
[04:10.724]Here I go once more, fishing for another lover.
[04:16.915]One more waiting door, one more very long, long shot.
[04:25.264]Will this be a waste? Or will I strike gold?
[04:29.948]Will my life be chaste? God, I'm getting old...
[04:39.408]Hi~
