Lyrics

Grapefruit
Bathing suit
Chew a little Juicy Fruit
Wash away the night

Drive-in
Guzzle gin
Commit a little mortal sin
It’s good for the soul

And don’t you know it gets so god damn lonely
When you’re on the plane all alone
And if I had the money, Honey
I’d strap you in beside me
And never ever leave you
Leave you at home all alone and crying

Ten speed
No need
My pick-up gets me where I please
Chuggin’ down the street, chug chug
But I’ll be leavin’
In a little while
So close your eyes and I’ll
Be back real soon

Come June July I don’t know!

And don’t you know it gets so god damn lonely
When you’re on the plane all alone
And if I had the money, Honey
I’d strap you in beside me
And never ever leave you
Leave you at home all alone and crying

Grapefruit
Bathing suit
Chew a little Juicy Fruit
Wash away the night
