Maybe Dolly Parton Can Sing This Version

At lunch today I was out walking, listen to music and this song came on, sang by Dolly Parton(written by Michael O'Donoghue)- it was called "Single Women". I was think with all the bans being lifted by Obama, Dolly could change the lyrics (like I did below) to sing to another group of fans.

Single bars and single men

With a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning

Looking for what they can find

For a man they won't remember

For a night they can't forget

Do you come to this place often?

May I light your cigarette?

Drinkin' beer in Amarillo

Passing time and swaping jokes

Hoping for a new beginning

But beginning to lose hope

And you're waiting for that moment

When a glance becomes a stare

Mmm, what's that cologne that you're wearing?

Haven't I met you somewhere?

 

Find a matchbook in the morning

With a name and number scrawled

When you phone, a woman answers

And you wish you'd never called

 

Oh, they're friendly when they meet you

But they're strangers when they go

Ahh, do you mind if I come join you?

Would you like to dance one more?

 

And it's gettin' near to closing

And the seconds pass like years

Lots of friends to share the laughter

Not a one to share the tears

 

Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box

Cause you know every song it plays

Can I drop you off at my place?

Oh, what's the matter, aren't you gay?

You gotta twenty in your pocket

Got your condoms, safety first

Life could get a whole lot better

But it better not get worse

 

Single bars and single men

With a single thought in mind

Just to make it till the morning

Looking for what they can find
