Testo Blind date Barbra Streisand

Blind date

Fanny & chorus
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me I am shaking all over,
Shaking all over
Im a mess
Waiting wondering what Ill be thinking
When he comes walking through that door

Whatll come walking through that door
A man I never saw in my life before
Oh,
I am so nervous
I got a blind date waiting to call on me (any minute now)
I got a blind date what am I gonna see (any minute now)
Right over theres the doorway, he will be walking through
Will he be six foot eight or maybe four foot two (it could happen)

I got a blind date waiting to come around (any minute now)
Oy but Im nervous listen to my heart pound
Why do I need this headache, single is not a crime
I got a blind date
An with my luck hell be on time

I got a girlfriend shirley, who says why not (shes an idiot)
This guy is a friend from a friend of a friend she got (hello, how do you do
What an idiot)
One thing I know is shirley aint sitting on no shelf
If he was such a vow shed keep him for herself (its only natural)
She says she is hes nice and he deals in stocks (sounds good, but shes an
Idiot)
Ill bet a buck he looks like month-old lox (also and idiot)
What do I need from shirley her and her fifty cup
I got a blind date and Im praying he stands me up

Wait wait, what am I praying he stands me up, Ill stand him up. I smell a rat
Anyway. umm. Im gonna hide under the bed, hell never see me, hell walk in and look
Around, I wouldnt be there, hell go away and thats the end of that.
Perrfect!
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear
You didnt see a thing
Oeps there he is!
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet!

Please shirley, even if hes lon chaney fat, bald or short or tall
Having a blind date is better than having
No date, at no time with no one at all.
Wait a minute maybe I spoke too soon
