Hi, I just knocked off this little ditty in an hour... a few rough parts cos I haven't given it the pro treatment yet... just wanted to get your general impression of the song, whether you like it or don't like it, and whether you like the humour or would prefer it to be more sincere.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[v1]
I saw this girl on Monday with a rosebud in her hair
We met on either side of a long unbreaking stare
We realised we made the most unlikely pair
Yeah I met this girl and I bet you'll never guess where

[c1]
She's the flower shop girl, she always smells so sweet
Yeah she's the flower shop girl, she always smells so sweet
I barely know her name and I'm tumblin' head over feet

[v2]
I saw this girl on Tuesday with a captivating smile
She's got great taste in music and a quite distinctive style
I'd like to keep my distance and observe her for a while
But I'm slowly being drawn in by that most alluring smile

[c2]
She's the record shop girl, and she's really caught my eye
Yeah she's the record shop girl, and she's really caught my eye
I always say I'm browsing, but really I'm just shy

[v3]
I saw this girl on Wednesday who thinks she's always right
Armed with wit and logic and bristling for a fight
I've overheard her speaking and I know she's very bright
I'd love to get to know her but I'm worried she could bite

[c3]
She's the liquor shop girl, three doors down from the bank
Yeah she's the liquor shop girl, three doors down from the bank
And she looks so good, it almost makes me wish I drank

[br.]
Another day, another love
Another wink, another nudge
A bit of fun to keep me high
A ray of sun to light my sky
Another dream, another lust
Another breath of angel dust
A flash of fire to spark my day
A flash of fire to feel ok

[v4]
I met this girl on Friday and it's going rather well
She struck a chord and got me to come out of my shell
We're going out this weekend and as far as I can tell
She's got an exceptionally well developed sense of smell!

[c4]
She's the coffee shop girl, and it was love at first sight
Yeah she's the coffee shop girl, and it was love at first sight
So I'd better stick to decaf, or I'll be up all night!

It's fun. I like it and your sense of humor, though I'm concerned about what happened on Thursday!

I dig.

I'm also concerned about thursday. How about you meet a cop with a restraining order?

Just a suggestion.

Have you got a tune?
