Lyrics
Girl Friend For the Weekend
(c) Carpenter, Paterno, Emmrich 2010
(verse)
Phone Rang, heard him say bikini weather this Saturday
we're meeting at the docks -- you better not come alone
last week you were such a mess
all you did was talk about your ex
I think it’s time for you to move on
hung up, thinking man he's right
and I got the perfect girl in mind
(chorus 1)
she's got pretty blue eyes and long blond hair
curves that are going everywhere
like the model on the billboard sign at 5th and Main
she's 5'10' with mile long legs,
on a scale of 10, she's got 11 pegged
looking so good, she’s gonna drive those boys insane
I got three whole days, shouldn't be that hard,
ain't a permanent kind of thing
I need a girlfriend .... for the weekend
(Verse 2)
Strike 1, strike 2, funny how they both had the flu
coulda swore I saw 'em downtown last night
strike 9, strike 10, looked in the mirror, started wondering,
maybe I got my standards set too high
that's when it occurred to me
what about the girl at the dairy queen
(chorus 2)
she's got raccoon eyes and purple hair
curves like a chinese panda bear
nothing like the model on the billboard sign at main
she 5 foot tall with a spider tattoo
on a scale of 10, she's maybe a few
pretty sure my buds 'll think I've gone insane
just a couple of days it shouldn't be that hard
ain't a permanent kind of thing
she's my girlfriend for the weekend
(Bridge)
we sure made a splash (with her fat big ,,,,)
and thank God for that hot summer sun
cause when I finish off this bottle of coconut rum .....
(chorus 3)
She'll have pretty blue eyes and long blond hair
curves that are going everywhere
like the model on the billboard sign at 5th and Main
she'll be 5'10 with mile long legs,
on a scale of 10, she's got 11 pegged
looking so good, she's gonna drive me insane
well, a couple of days aren’t long enough to start a
permanent kind of thing – no,
she’s just my girlfriend for the weekend.
... my girlfriend for the weekend.
