Gaelic Storm - Slim Jim and the Seven Eleven Girl lyrics

He saw her every day she
Was working at the 7-Eleven
He would buy two hot dogs or
Some nachos or a Slim Jim
Just so that he could see her pretty face
Then he got up the nerve to
Ask her out one day
And she replied flat out, "no chance, no way"
But in his mind
This is what he heard her say

"Will you meet me on the corner?
I'll be wearing something pretty
Just for you
You can hold my hand, kiss my cheek
We'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing
That ever happened to me
Well she must have forgotten or her dog
Got sick or something like that
'cause he waited on that corner
Hour after hour
Then he went back to his flat
By himself and watched TV
But the very next day he tried again
And she replied
"not if every other man on this
Earth were dead" but I swear
This is what he thought she said

"Will you meet me on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty just for you
You can hold my hand, kiss my cheek
We'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing
That ever happened to me"

Well, he could not help himself
So he begged her just to listen
To what he had to say, he said
Beauty is only skin deep
It's what's inside that counts
She said "Okay" so he told her
All about how he likes to take
Long walks in the park, sunsets
Riding motorcycles, watching foreign movies
Reading books about
Lands that are far far away
And how one day he's gonna
Travel round the world
Singing songs about people and
Places and then, finally
She said the words that he heard
In his head, she said "Okay, shut up!

I will you meet you on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty just for you
You can hold my hand
Kiss my cheek we'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing
That ever happened to me
Best thing that's happened to me"
