Blue Eyes - Shel Silverstein

Boy: I see you’re all along sittin' in the bar

Can I sit down beside ya, Blue Eyes?

Girl: Well, you see my boyfriend just went into the wash room

And he’ll be right back

And he’s seven feet tall

And he always carries a gun

Boy: Oh!

Well, if I beat up your boyfriend

And I take away his gun

And I sit down beside ya

Can I buy you a drink, Blue Eyes?

Girl: I’m drinking Piper Heidsick champagne

That costs thirty-five dollars a bottle

Boy: Oh!

Well, if I beat up your boyfriend

And I take away his gun

And I sit down beside ya

And I guy ya a bottle of thirty-five dollar Piper Heidsick champagne

Can I drive ya home, Blue Eyes?

Girl: I live in Philadelphia

Boy: Oh!

Well, if I beat up your boyfriend

And I take away his gun

And I sit down beside ya

And I guy ya a bottle of thirty-five dollar Piper Heidsick champagne

And I drive you to Philadelphia

Can I walk you to the door, Blue Eyes?

Girl: There’s a big moat around my house

And it’s full of crocodiles and alligators

And there’s a terrible undertow

Boy: Oh!

Well, if I swim across the moat

And I avoid the crocodiles and the alligators

And I don’t get sunk by the undertow

Will you ask me to come in, Blue Eyes?

Girl: Well, you see…

It’s very late

And my mother is probably waiting up for me

And I think she washed the floor

And it’s covered with newspapers

And besides, we got this big dog that

Whenever a stranger comes in

He starts to bark and bites you

And my father’s worried about paying off the mortgage on the house

Which cost five thousand, three hundred twenty-two dollars

And it’s very late

And I’ve got to wash my hair

And I have to get up early for work

Boy: You really don’t want me to take you home, do ya?

Girl: Well, you see it’s very late

And my mother’s probably waiting up for me

Boy: You see, you don’t really want me to take you home

Girl: Well, you see it’s very late

Boy: You don’t really like me, do ya?

You really don’t care about me

Girl: Well, you see it’s very late

Boy: Never mind!

Forget it!
