Higher cost of falling in love
Compared to my day
Take the prom for instance
Grandson is being measured for a tuxedo
Cost more than I spent on a years wardrobe
Next reserving the limousine
For me it was save seat on the city bus?
If lucky Four kid's sharing Dad's Uncle's Caddy
Now it's the pre and after prom party
Hamburger and fries at McDonald's not enough?
The post party is catered!
Not to mention post prom bail bond bills
Dance lessons-- took mine from Mom
Jealous girlfriends not invited
For me no jealous girlfriends to deal with
Just my bowling ball
Gotta say my date was my only choice
Too shy to ask the popular girls out
At least no mad at me girls and no
Cleaning up the toilet paper from trees
In my day no one wasted toilet paper
And in Seattle it rains daily
So much easier in my day
"Would you go to the prom with me?"
"Punky, you're the last person on earth!
that I would ever date!"
"You haven't even got a car!"
Little unclear if that was a no?
It cost a couple bucks to go bowling
A marking pencil to write her name
In every men's stalls for miles
Skip the $50'000 dollar wedding
The gum machine out of fake diamond rings
Elvis did cheap fast weddings in Vegas
Grab a fishing pole-- skip dance lessons
Rent out a fishing boat with my buddies
My day it was a win win for everyone
The poor guy who took my dream date
Had to buy a used trailer house in the trailer park
Back breaking chore of carrying her over the threshold
I only dated fat and homely girls
and they still turned me down!
I had already picked out the roses
I was going to steal from the neighbor's yard
Eventually my exed prom date had
Four Exe's and the ugliest kids on the block
My first broken heart lasted two minutes
Only the motor to the outboard wouldn't start
Did I mention in college was voted Prom King
Some is exaggerated Prom King is not!
Only I never found out who nominated me
And the Prom Queen already had a date
So I went bowling
