Slit Skirts

[00:09.01] I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
[00:15.65] I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were
[00:19.87] Lost in a maze
[00:24.13] I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of
[00:27.21] Divine right to the blues
[00:31.10] It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the
[00:33.73] Front page sad news.
[00:38.71] The incense burned away and the stench began to rise
[00:45.36] And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes
[00:52.71] And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil
[00:58.25] And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil
[01:03.63] No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned
[01:08.83] From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned
[01:16.46] Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
[01:22.22] I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
[01:25.51] Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.
[01:31.14] Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
[01:36.19] Have to be so drunk to try a new dance
[01:39.65] So afraid of every new romance
[01:45.35] Slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:47.08] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:50.84] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:54.31] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[01:58.16] Slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:58.52] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:59.11] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
[01:59.67] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[02:00.52] Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?
[02:05.39] Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
[02:09.15] Just need a brief new romance
[02:14.56] Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now.
[02:20.47] The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around.
[02:28.60] I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled.
[02:35.81] A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled.
[02:42.91] And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him,
[02:49.98] But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym.
[02:56.42] Recriminations fester and the past can never change
[03:02.39] A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range
[03:07.61] Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs
[03:12.83] Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg
[03:20.84] Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
[03:26.03] And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
[03:29.45] Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
[03:34.91] Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
[03:39.83] We have to be so drunk to try a new dance
[03:43.38] So afraid of every new romance
[03:48.94] Slit skirts, slit skirt
[03:50.96] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
[03:54.64] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
[03:58.10] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[04:03.26] Slit skirts, slit skirt
[04:05.08] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
[04:08.54] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
[04:12.45] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[04:17.30] Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?
[04:22.37] Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
[04:26.36] Just need a brief new romance
