The Lyrics
First time I'm out with you
I dropped a dime
Bent to get it
And my pants split open wide
The whole room turned, they heard my trousers tear
Why did I wear pink Dora underwear?
It was a bad date
Knew it from the start
Next time, avoid tight jeans
Cause they might tear apart
Whenever I see you now
Walking with your friends
They point they stare, make fun of my rear end
One day I hoped I'd get to meet her folks
But now I'm just the butt of her jokes
It was a bad date
I'm forever scarred
Couldn't keep from crying
They were laughing so hard
(Sax Solo.................)
First kiss, complete disgrace
Leaned in, burped in her face
But she got me back, with a sneak attack
Switched my Preperation H with Ben Gay
She wanted to see the look on my face
She didn't care that it was in bad taste
It was a bad date
Burning in my shorts
It's not a total loss
It burned away my warts
I dropped a dime
Bent to get it
And my pants split open wide
The whole room turned, they heard my trousers tear
Why did I wear pink Dora underwear?
It was a bad date
Knew it from the start
Next time, avoid tight jeans
Cause they might tear apart
Whenever I see you now
Walking with your friends
They point they stare, make fun of my rear end
One day I hoped I'd get to meet her folks
But now I'm just the butt of her jokes
It was a bad date
I'm forever scarred
Couldn't keep from crying
They were laughing so hard
(Sax Solo.................)
First kiss, complete disgrace
Leaned in, burped in her face
But she got me back, with a sneak attack
Switched my Preperation H with Ben Gay
She wanted to see the look on my face
She didn't care that it was in bad taste
It was a bad date
Burning in my shorts
It's not a total loss
It burned away my warts

Man.... Pink Dora underwear... I don't think you can get more embarassing than that!!!
he he
date, bad...parody, good
Ca-ringe! I've been on some bad dates in my time, but if this happened to me I'd enter a monastery. Fun stuff, Jeff. 555
ha! - TMI about the warts Jeff! - I think you are definitely channelling Arwen here - 555
(Decathlon 2.0) Can't say much except...you poor bastard. Great job Jeff!
(dec2.3) see above - butt of her joke, with the joke of your butt - either way, that was a funny line Jeff, and the neat pacing added to the humour imo
(DEC 2.3) See above. I'll add that I particularly liked this:
First kiss, complete disgrace
Leaned in, burped in her face
First kiss, complete disgrace
Leaned in, burped in her face
Decathlon...I thought I'd commented on this. Seriously...I'm kind of weirded out. =( Anyway...I love Love LOVE the OS...always gets me dancing...and this was a lovely tale of an evening that I feel like I've lived a time or two...=)
Definitely got better as it went along... never heard of "Ben Gay", but I can guess... but at least it's all behind you now
(Dec) Quite a vengeful woman to do that to you in the second verse!
This is HILARIOUS....ly embarrassing LOL.5s
(Dec2) Well, that was different Jeff, I think that I have a new appreciation for those who I've seen do this in public (well not the whole date, but the ripping pants) You have a charisma that shows through your writing. . .I really enjoy your style, I think this song was a bit too short for a real big contender, but certainly a top 5 fringer, and an interesting OS choice!
DEC2- I've had dates worse than this, believe it or not. Very funny and well done, Jeff.
