Oh

you're gonna wear a dress like that

had to wear a bloody dress

don't know I rarely pack it myself got

it just be grateful it wasn't in your

hate every minute I could tell

especially during that oboe Saturday

there was something in my eye I loved it

did you write we better get you in right

so minute clock you okay I don't I don't

want to go in yet I just want to be a

man who's been to a concert with a girl

or a dress just a few minutes more

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
