A half-blind woman told me I was hot
I decided I would take that with several grains of salt
She said she liked my voice
She is half-deaf too
But I’ll take what I can get now, just between me and you
You went half-way to London
I went half-way to France
Now we’re stuck here in the middle
And I don’t know how to dance
We’re surrounded by the ocean
We’ve been pounded by the rain
We’re all warm inside the cabin
Sipping something for the pain
A pretty short woman told me I was tall
I just stood up straight and didn’t respond to her at all
She said she’d be right back
I waited for a week
But I’ll take what I can get now, just between you and me
There is wood beneath my fingers
There are strings beneath my thumbs
These vibrations make me willing to sing for you a song
My house is like a junkyard
If half the junk were nice
I’d sell the other half for pennies
If I didn’t have to pay the price
A half-blind woman told me I was hot
I decided I would take that with several grains of salt
She said she liked my voice
She is half-deaf too
But I’ll take what I can get now, just between me and you
