Mary! (Get Frisky​!​)

lyrics

mary and her girlfriends out on the dance floor
shaking their miniskirts and hoping they'll get a little more
something something from the boys at the bar
but all they want is a guy with a brand new car

all i know is i don't got a chance
i don't even know how to dance
i got two left feet and a belly full of whisky
oh mary, mary why don't you get frisky with me?

me and my fellas looking awkward and shy
with our penny arcade shirts suddenly i want to die
we see you moving and groovin to the thump of the bass
but if we get any closer you'll spray us with mace!

chorus

could i be as cool as the boys next to you?
(whoa ho ho, whoa ho ho)
would you be my lover if i could play pool?
(whoa ho ho, whoa ho ho)
should i wear my baseball cap on baaaaakwards?
if you don't like my looks will you at least like my words?

inst

chorus

all's fair in love and war except when you're dancing
cause it's hard to keep a beat when you're busy romancing
so i'll stand at the side and tap my toes for a while
and you know that when i'm awkward babe, i do it in style

i dance in 12/4 time, with little reason or rhyme
i keep my feet on the ground and my eyes on the lime
as we down a shot of cuervo after licking the salt
and i tip a dollar fifty and the bartender says "that's all?"

and now she's pissed, so my drinks are all water
if you're feeling what i'm feeling boys then you better holla!
to all the clueless guys who drink too much at the party
so afraid of natty light and so they're downing bacardi's

let me say right now, before you have a cow
you'll never get a girl like mary, she is more than fate will allow
why don't you back on up and take it easy tonight
go find another girl -- mary's not worth the fight!

chorus x3?
