Handsome Woman Blues
Song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
A parody of my poem "Makeup and Gloves"
Structure: All accents align, with two or three exceptions.
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance!
VERSE 1
With my posse at an up town bar,
It’s a stretch to say that we’re gallant.
Got our eyes on the door,
As with words we spar,
While checking out all the talent.
A classic night, just a constant stream
Of buxom blondes, red heads, and bold brunettes.
But I want much more in my ladies,
And handsome is as good as it gets.
Yeah, handsome is as good as it gets.
VERSE 2
Yeah, my homies say that they’re impressed
With the fine fillies they are scopin’.
But I bide my time,
Play it close to the vest,
I try to keep my options open.
So there I sat, playing angry birds,
I'd turned a deaf ear to my friends.
Then something deep within me stirred.
A handsome woman strolled on in. ("Hubba-hubba")
A handsome woman strolled on in.
VERSE 3
Hey, I’m never slow to take the shot,
Once the cross hairs are on my prey.
Soon as she took a seat,
I made my move,
Had our waitress send her a cabernet.
We hit it off, and in just a month
I knew I loved her like no other.
And then I bought a ring, ‘cause I knew.
My kids would have a handsome mother.
My kids would have a handsome mother.
BRIDGE
Say what you want about their looks,
But these chicks bring the gusto.
That’s why I’ve taken time to pen,
This handsome wo-manifesto.
VERSE 4
In line for the movie “I Am Legend”
It’s a night I’d like to erase.
Woman glanced at my girl
and then said to her friend:
“Don’t look but that chick’s gotta horse face.” ("Oh no she didn't!")
Yeah, it was on, my girl sure was pissed.
But who knew that pulling hair would be assault!?!
Then the police came and cuffed her sweet wrists.
I told the judge it wasn’t her fault. ("He wasn't listening")
I told the judge it wasn’t her fault.
VERSE 5
Once a month I see my handsome love,
Bearing dark chocolates and red roses.
When your love’s behind bars,
Yeah it’s tough, but at least,
You know what the cost of her clothes is.
I’m on the road to my handsome chick.
It takes all day, hey, I wouldn’t miss it.
Hopin' this time I won’t be all that quick.
It’s gonna be a conjugal visit. ("Oh, yeah")
It’s gonna be a conjugal visit.
VERSE 6
Two long years of hell ‘til she got paroled.
Lots of cold showers there at the end.
As the doors opened up,
What did I behold?
My love was with her handsome girl friend.
Then I went through problems with the law,
Just cause I had two fine handsome ‘wormans’.
So we moved on out to sunny Utah,
Where we all became handsome Mormons. ("We've got the undies.")
Where we all became handsome Mormons.
The End
