If I Could Almost
Read Your Mind ~ 1980 version
- If I could read your minds
- I kind of think I'd see
- a lot of little questions there
concerning me
-
- For instance . . .
-
- Has he aged, or did he put on weight?
- I think I read somewhere that he's 38!
- He hasn't lost his hair, but he could
stand a little dye!
- Looks relaxed up there but what's
he like inside?
-
- How does old Perra-louch unwind?
- I can almost read your minds!
-
- From my publicity
- I'll bet you'd like to know,
- if I'll stay awake thru the entire
show?
- You wonder what's beneath that Florida
tan
- deep down inside is he . .
.
- a dirty old man?
-
- You wonder what it takes to make him
lose his cool?
- Does he have "holy" water in
his swimming pool?
- Would he pinch a girl's behind?
-
- It doesn't take a guy equipped with
ESP
- to see what's goin' with your
curiosity!
- Is "Mister Nice Guy" just a
press agent's pitch?
- his dearest friends say he's a . . .
-
- Now this may sound cliché, but clichés
are often true
- I'm glad you let me come an' sing my
songs to you
- and I'm happy that I find
- that I could almost read your minds!
