A LITTLE ROMANCE

A classic case of spring fever
Has me looking for romance again;
Pretending to be a spring chicken,
In good shape for the shape that I'm in.

I've slimmed down a bit and I'm trying
To get my old classic car on the road;
Somewhere out there is a fellow who'll care
And want to share my humble abode!

I will know true love when I see it,
Just pretending won't get them far!
I'm a picky old bird, so I've heard
But he doesn't have to look like a star!

It is romance that I am seeking;
A gentleman with a good bit of pride,
Who'll open the doors, one who floors
Me with flowers, and makes me his bride.
