"Liz" lyrics - SHEL SILVERSTEIN
SHEL SILVERSTEIN
"Liz"
Oh, I'll admit that I ain't tall and handsome
And I'll admit my hair is gettin' thin
And I'm gettin' sort of fat
And some other things like that.
So do you wonder why I sit and shyly grin -
It's just because - Liz got around to Nicky Hilton,
And Michael Todd and Wilding... that made three.
And she got around to Fisher,
And she got around to Burton,
So I'm certain that she'll get around to me.
So I'm sittin' here just waitin' in the drugstore
As confident and happy as can be,
And I never go on dates.
I just sit right here and wait,
'Cause I know she's got to get around to me.
Someday, I know she's got to get around to me!
