Lyrics_
Verse 1
You, Lynyrd Skynyrd hat
And me, little kiddy
Sat across with the velvet jacket
Wild orange hair, and dark, dark eyes
I gawked, like a twelve-year-old smitten
Carla the Stripper
Straight from L.A.
You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth
Lets be pals some day . . . in other words
Put some clothes on and call me
Chorus
I saw you
It was incredible
Verse 2
Slim, relaxed buyin’ wine at the QFC
On a snowy Saturday night
Black pearls and I swear you were drinkin’ beer
You were the red-head behind the counter there
I’m the one who though of his chair there
You had your dry-cleaning and I think your dreaming
Chorus/Outro
I saw you
It was incredible
Mumbled these words at you
Unintelligible
Ma Ma Ma Ma
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma
Ma Ma Hey ugh uhh yuh what time is it?
(I saw you, it was incredible)
