Story Behind The Song

Have you ever noticed that you were running short of cash while out on a date? I have, so I tried to capture the art of making excuses to leave, while not letting your date know that the cash is running out before it's too late.

Song Description

Light blues tune about running out of money on a date at a music club. The guy thinks up numerous excuses why he doesn't want to stay.

Lyrics

SAY SOMETHIN' SEXY
By: Tom Formanek (ASCAP)


V1) I TOOK MY DATE TO A PLACE LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS COOL AND THE LIGHTS WEREN'T BRIGHT
WE SAT AT A TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR
SO WE COULD SEE WHEN OUR FRIENDS CAME IN THROUGH THE DOOR

V2) IT WAS A WARM QUIET NIGHT IN THE MONTH OF JUNE
THEN THE BAND STARTED UP WITH A FUNKY LITTLE TUNE
THEY GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER AS THEY STARTED TO PLAY
THEN I LOOKED AT MY DATE AND I STARTED TO SAY

CH) SAY SOMETHING SEXY SO I KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GO
THIS PLACE IS TOO LOUD AND I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE SHOW
DO SOMETHING SEXY SO I KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GO
THIS PLACE IS TOO SMOKY AND I'M RUNNIN' OUT OF DOUGH

V3) SHE SAID I LIKE THAT SONG THEN SHE TOOK MY HAND
LET'S STAY A LITTLE WHILE AND LISTEN TO THE BAND
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BAND BY JUST ONE SONG
WE CAN CATCH A FEW TUNES, THAT WON'T TAKE TOO LONG

V4) THEN THE WAITRESS CAME BY TO REFILL OUR GLASSES
THE DANCE FLOOR FILLED UP WITH A CROWD OF THE MASSES
YOU COULDN'T MOVE OR TALK OR GET UP FOR A TRIP
BOTH HANDS ON TO YOUR GLASS JUST TO TAKE A LITTLE SIP

CHORUS 2X, END

Last line: AND I JUST RAN OUT OF DOUGH
