Lyrics
Good Girlfriend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I woke up this morning,
my new girlfriend beside me.
I don't have to lie about her.
I don't need some dumb story to hide me.
she turned 20 last April, she's as tall as I am,
she came to this country all the way from Siam.
I may not be the greatest guy in this town,
people may have good cause to put me down,
but I've got a real good girlfriend now.
we stood on Chicago Avenue,
hey look--here comes the bus.
slipped on a solid sheet of ice, (???)
watched the number 66 fly right past us.
I may not be the greatest guy in this town,
people may have good cause to put me down,
but I've got a real good girlfriend now.
