Barbra Streisand - Blind Date lyrics
[Barbra Streisand - Blind Date lyrics]
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me I am shaking all over
Shaking all over i'm a mess
Waiting wondering what I'll be thinking
When he comes walking through that door
What'll come walking through that door
A man I never saw in my life before oh
I am so nervous
I got a blind date waiting to call on me
(any minute now)
I got a blind date what am I gonna see
(any minute now)
Right over there's the doorway
He will be walking through
Will he be six foot eight
Or maybe four foot two (it could happen)
I got a blind date waiting to come around
(any minute now)
Oy but I'm nervous listen to my heart pound
Why do I need this headache
Single is not a crime i got a blind date
An with my luck he'll be on time
I got a girlfriend shirley, who says why not
(she's an idiot) this guy is a friend from a
Friend of a friend she got
(hello, how do you do what an idiot)
One thing I know is shirley
Ain't sitting on no shelf
If he was such a vow
She'd keep him for herself
(it's only natural)
She says she is he's nice
And he deals in stocks
(sounds good, but she's an idiot)
I'll bet a buck he looks like month-old lox
(also and idiot) what do I need from shirley
Her and her fifty cup
I got a blind date and I'm
Praying he stands me up
Wait wait, what am I praying he stands me up
I'll stand him up i smell a rat
Anyway umm i'm gonna hide under the
Bed, he'll never see me
He'll walk in and look
Around, I wouldn't be there
He'll go away and that's the end of that
Perrfect!
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear
You didn't see a thing oeps there he is!
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet!
Blind date: rosalie?! Rosalie: oi, oi, oi
Blind date: rosalie?! that's odd she
Doesn't seem to be here
Rosalie: smart, smart!
Blind date: I've been stood up, it's news
Rosalie: well it's better than put down
Blind date: this has never happened before
Rosalie: what and ego! Blind date: rosalie?!
Rosalie: sh, sh, sh!
Rosalie: it worked, it worked!
He never saw me boy am I
Lucky I didn't see him neither
But I can just imagine what
A lox that one was
Rosalie: I got it right her
Shirley was playing tricks
Voice: no, no, that's wrong, you got it wrong
Rosalie: wait, wait, what that's not right?
Voice: no
He was gorgeous he looked like rudolph
Rosalie: rudolph who?
Voice: rudolph valentino rosalie: get away
Voice: yeah, the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: not the phantom from the opera?
Voice: uh, uh rosalie: the sheik from where?
Voice: the sheik from arabia
Rosalie: get away voice: that's right
Rosalie: wait a minute is this
Person kidding me around here?
Voice: no, no absolutely rosalie: get away
Rosalie: well that's what happened I
Let him get away
What do I'll do now maybe become a nun
(that's impossible)
I'm calling shirley maybe she'll bring a gun
Please shirley, even if he's lon chaney fat
Bald or short or tall
Having a blind date is better than having
No date, at no time with no one at all
Wait a minute maybe I spoke too soon
Shirley get me out of here!
Oh this one is cute
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me I am shaking all over
Shaking all over i'm a mess
Waiting wondering what I'll be thinking
When he comes walking through that door
What'll come walking through that door
