lyrics
Hey Larry
by Dean Friedman
Hey Larry, can I borrow your car ?
I got a date tonight with a movie star,
She's got sexy legs and a perfect bod,
She's got such a pretty face, I swear to God,
Don't worry, it'll be all right,
We'll have a bite to eat and then we'll dance all night,
And when the sun comes up I'm gonna take her home,
And we'll kiss goodnight and I'll walk away alone,
She's not your ordinary girl,
She's much more wonderful, (She's wonderful)
I wouldn't change her for the world,
She is so extra special.
Hey Larry, you know it's just what it seems,
I thought I'd never find her but she's the girl of my dreams,
And every time I see her it's like the first time,
I get nervous and I stammer and my temperature climbs,
Gee, Larry, do you know what she said ?
She said "I always wanted someone with a lot of bread,
And then you came along and you saw right through,
And you stole my heart, so you'll just have to do,"
She's not your ordinary girl,
She's much more wonderful, (She's wonderful)
I wouldn't change her for the world,
She is so extra special.
Hey Larry, you're a real pal,
I don't know how I'll ever thank you but I can't right now,
I've got to change my clothes, I've got to take a shower,
I got to pick her up in half an hour,
So listen, Larry, see I got to run,
But what I'm tryin' to to tell you is that she's the one,
And I'll be real careful like I've always been,
And I'll see you tomorrow,
And thanks again,
She's not your ordinary girl,
She's much more wonderful, (She's wonderful)
I wouldn't change her for the world,
She is so extra special.
Hey Larry, can I borrow your car?
I got a date tonight with a movie star...
Dean Friedman entered pop consciousness with his Top 20 hit, Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song
about a free spirited, pot-smoking, vegetarian Jewish girl in a peasant blouse. Since then, hits like Lucky Stars, Lydia, Rocking Chair, McDonald’s Girl and Woman of Mine have earned him a loyal international following, devoted to his work as a master songsmith and performer....more
