On Second Thought
Paul Molyneux

Email comments to Paul


The player in the barber's chair
Did not pretend to hide his stare.
The manicurist at his side
Was so hot he nearly fried.

"Let's blow this place and hit the town.
I'll make it so you'll never frown."
You're beautiful my dear sweet thing.
I'll shower you with lots of bling."

"I'm sorry, sir. You flatter me,
But I can't go. I am not free.
My husband's love is quite quite enough.
I'll never cheat and all that stuff."

"Oh, call the dude and tell him straight-
Tonight you'll be home really late."
"Tell him yourself if you want to.
He's the one here shaving you."
