The Pickup

(album: Hit The Road! - 1964)

I saw her walking down the street
I tell you all she sure looked neat
Lovely eyes and long black hair
She looked so nervous standing there.

Man's she's great
Think I'll ask her for a date.

I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and falling down
Hanging on a parking meter
Burning like a red hot meter.

What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk.

You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was going round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
Cause talking to a girl
Is my weakness.

I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and falling down
Hanging on a parking meter
Burning like a red hot meter.

What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk.

You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was going round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
Cause talking to a girl
Is my weakness.

I guess I musta caught her eye
Cause instead of walking by
She walked right up and with a smile
Said c'mon boy I like your style.

Will I date her
So long boy's
I'll see you later
