VERSE 1
A young man leaves on Sunday evening
Said he will sing tenor in the choir.
But his fake ID’s gonna get some use,
As will his nice new pacifier.
But his folks knew the score,
After noting a stamp
That didn’t match his church attire.
CHORUS
The hand stamp
Just a patch of ink
That’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
It’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
VERSE 2
Guy tells his wife he’s going fishing,
And said that dusk is the time they’re biting.
But his rod and reel didn’t leave the trunk.
Cause he found strippers more exciting.
But his wife saw the stamp,
From the gentleman’s club
She didn’t wait to start the fighting.
CHORUS
The hand stamp
Just a patch of ink
That’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
It’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
VERSE 3
Old Grandpa got the golf clubs loaded.
And told his wife he’d be back for dinner.
Then he jumped aboard a casino bus.
Expecting he’d come back a winner.
But the stamp he received,
When he boarded the bus,
Told 'Grams' his wallet might be thinner.
CHORUS
The hand stamp
Just a patch of ink
That’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
It’s a lot more dangerous
Than you think.
The End
