Lyrics

Ode To The Pretty Girls
©1983 Rod MacDonald, Blue Flute Music (ASCAP)

See the pretty girls out walking, a banquet for the eye
dressed in their finest colors, their faces how they shine
but don't let 'em catch you looking, they'll just think you're uncool
'casue the pretty girls don't like to be stared at
though there's exceptions to every rule.

And all around the streets
lovers in the park
going home to turn down the sheets
kissing in the dark.

Oh hear the pretty girls talking, their voices trill and flow
"It's so hard to find a good man these days, they're all such creeps you know"
but don't let them catch you listening, they'll just know you're a fool
'cause the pretty girls always have boyfriends
though there's exceptions to every rule.

Ah look at the hungry men standing, staring out in the street
hanging around in groups of four and five, saying "hey, hey, mmm mmm how sweet"
but don't let them get you to turn around, you'd only make them drool
and you wouldn't like that kind anyhow
though there's exceptions to every rule.

Oh hear the pretty girls breathing a cool breeze in the air
see all the men out on the sidewalk, imagination everywhere
but sometimes the pretty girls go for something a little less usual
and fall in love with other pretty girls
though there's exceptions to every rule.
