"One Night Stand" lyrics
"One Night Stand"
Friday night in California
Everybody busy making plans
Henrietta's got a hot date
With a drummer from a local band
She's agreed that they can meet up
When he's finished working at the gym
Henrietta's got a picture
But she doesn't think it looks like him
One night stand
All she wants is a
One night romance
Take my hand
And let's pretend we're in love
I got to get out
Let myself go
Sing like a cowboy
Ro-de-o-do
Dance like a slave in
Caligula's Rome
Baby I don't want to go home
See Henrietta's in a potentially dangerous situation
She hasn't validated the identity of the young man she's dating
It could lead to all sorts of misdemeanours
Well, when they finally got to make love
She could tell that there was something wrong
Henrietta's little drum boy
Was playing to a different song
One night stand (One night stand)
All she wanted was
One night's romance (One night's)
So, take my hand (Take my hand)
And let's pretend we're in love
I said, "One night stand" (One night stand)
That's all she wanted was
One night's romance (One night's)
Take my hand (Take my hand)
And let's pretend we broke up (Ah yeah)
'Cause I got to get out
Let myself go
Sing like a cowboy
Ro-de-o-do
Dance like a slave in
Caligula's Rome
Well, baby, I don't want to go home, no I don't
Yeah, she got lucky this time didn't realise the danger she was in
Left herself wide open

And they're closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms

Steely Dan - "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun

Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time

To leave his dead life behind

To get those crazy notions...

Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV
