Clipper Cowbridge lyrics

Soda Pop Shop [mp3]
By Clipper Cowbridge

I took Loretta to the soda pop shop
She had a milkshake and I had a jumbo pop
I tried to say “I love you” so it wouldn't be in doubt
But when I opened my mouth, this is what came out:
Burp, glurp, blop, glub, blurp...

My head got fevered and my feet went cold
It wasn't like me to lose my self control
I tried to say “excuse me” or maybe “pardon me”
But when I opened my mouth, I sang this rhapsody:
Burp, glurp, blop, glub, blurp...

Loretta looked mad and I felt bad
I thought she'd slap my face and leave
But when she spoke, the tension broke
And what she said you just would not believe:

Bluuuurp!

That's the way it happened seven years ago today
Now we have a little house, it's just across the way
We take the kids for soda every Sunday after church
The noise we make would knock a buzzard off his perch:
Burp, glurp, blop, glub, blurp...
