Well there I was all alone in this big city
On a three day convention spree
I was thinkin' bout my wife when I met this sweet young thang
So I took her for a drink just her and me
She said honey how'd you like to go over to my place
My heart said no but my lips said yessiree
We got there and we started in kissin'
The lights started flashin' and cameras clickin'
I turned around and this fella says to me
Would you like a glossy 8 x 10 of you and your lady friend
To show the folks back home you had a ball
Now it's suitable for framing just like a famous painting
I'm sure they'd like to hang you on the wall
Would you like one in color to show to your mother
Brother their yours for a song
Course we'll send your wife one free but if you'd rather buy from me
They're fifty bucks a piece you can't go wrong
Well they say there's a sucker born every minute
And I was almost as innocent as can be
Well I walked out of that room with nothing but my shoes
And a stack of pictures my wife won't get to see I hope
Would you like a glossy 8 x 10 of you and your lady friend
To show the folks back home you had a ball
Hey is she a friend of yours
(Now it's suitable for framing)
How much you want for that naked 'en
(Just like a famous painting
I'm sure they'd like to hang you on the wall)
I'd like to hang you on the wall Mister
(Would you like one in color to show to your mother
Brother their yours for a song)
