TURTLENECK

Just doin' nothin'
Kinda hangin' out
Ensconced on the couch
With a bag of take-out and a glass of stout
Punched in the numbers
Got my big screen to light
That's when it happened
That's when I first caught sight

of that

Honey-haired honey
Movin' slow and lookin' quick
I mean, this girl was packin'
All the proper arithmetic
Sure got my attention
All hands on deck
To check out the chick in the Turtleneck

I'm usually calm in most situations
Not one to get lost in a fantasy
But, in that sweet vision, seemed an invitation
To lose some dignity

It was just an ad
On the T 'n' V
What they were sellin'
Has eluded me
Might'a been somethin'
High brow or high tech
All I remember is that Turtleneck

Instrumental

I'm usually calm in most situations
Not one to get lost in a fantasy
But, in that sweet vision, seemed an invitation
To lose some dignity

Tryin' to seduce me
With all their glamorous noise
Get me to part with some of my green
For some of their toys
Wouldn't be a problem
I'd gladly mail 'em a check
If they'd just
Send me that chick in the Turtleneck
