Now I was standing in the shower,
it was somewhere
around the hour of five p .m.
But I had just stepped in
to wash away all the dirt
from a hard day's work
I was soaking up the scrub
and standing naked in the tub
when that old phone rang
I grabbed a towel and sprained
Then I went running down the hall
to receive that call
And I said, hey Luella,
is that you on the line?
And she said, yeah big fella,
how's that mat ter of mine?
And I said, hey, Lubella,
been thinking about you all day, hon.
I'll be around a little later
if you think it's like a cater
to a hot -nuggin' Santa McGonn.
I went and shaved off all the gristle.
I was cleaner than a whistle
when I got done
Lord, I felt like someone
I was ready in my suit
and my new black boots
When I got to my Luella
I had ten new things
to tell her that I felt inside
I looked into her eyes
I held her close as we could get
Then I took a breath and I said
Hey, Luella, I'm all hung up on you
And she said, yeah, big fella
I feel the same way too
And I said
Hey, Luella,
let's burn a bridge or two tonight
What say we take a step together
It might lead us to forever
There's no telling
what might happen inside
And I said
Hey, Nuwella
