I get just one date only
Ditch me
They ditch me cos I'm lame or
Ditch me after dinner
If they live through it
They won't be coming home with me, I'll blow it
You bet, blondes or reds or brunettes
Think that I'm a scam
They yell and I'm addressed
Say I'm insane and that's at best
I get just one date only
No woman will shake my tree
I get just one date only
They cannot wait to flee from me
I think I'm hot like burning benzine
An' look like a young James Dean
Yet face embraces
Time again a can of mace, ouch
I grope in desperation
For girls from other nations
They pout as they find out that their love-life has then become malign
I get just one date only
But thanks from the nunnery
I get just one date only
My hairy palms I've named Base Three
I can't dress up by the norm, a walking fashion crisis
Because of me the Fab Five's gone
An' stopped with free advises
Nothing can kill a date like my can
Girls rather date the trash man
And while this makes me blue
Just you wait 'round 'til I date you!
But it'll be one date only
Nobody will redate me
I get just one date only
Because my Ma comes out with me
I get just one date only
At times girls will yell "police!"
I get just one date only
But I collect restraining fees
Ditch me
They ditch me cos I'm lame or
Ditch me after dinner
If they live through it
They won't be coming home with me, I'll blow it
You bet, blondes or reds or brunettes
Think that I'm a scam
They yell and I'm addressed
Say I'm insane and that's at best
I get just one date only
No woman will shake my tree
I get just one date only
They cannot wait to flee from me
I think I'm hot like burning benzine
An' look like a young James Dean
Yet face embraces
Time again a can of mace, ouch
I grope in desperation
For girls from other nations
They pout as they find out that their love-life has then become malign
I get just one date only
But thanks from the nunnery
I get just one date only
My hairy palms I've named Base Three
I can't dress up by the norm, a walking fashion crisis
Because of me the Fab Five's gone
An' stopped with free advises
Nothing can kill a date like my can
Girls rather date the trash man
And while this makes me blue
Just you wait 'round 'til I date you!
But it'll be one date only
Nobody will redate me
I get just one date only
Because my Ma comes out with me
I get just one date only
At times girls will yell "police!"
I get just one date only
But I collect restraining fees

I've been down this road before... Too many times Peter. Great parody and a pretty fun original song that I've never heard until today. Whatever happened to this guy?
Peter as usual while your songs are funny they speak the truth. I feel at best the humor sugarcoats the truth to make it catchy. i have just learned not to be desparate for romance as it just drives me crazy and isn't worth losing sleep over. Great work.
SOTM - Sounds like 555 bad dates...
SOTM - Maybe this $555 will help solve your problem...Nice job here!
Never heard the original before; I agree with Matthias, it's kinda catchy. Fun take on it. I liked the part where your face embraces a can of mace, ouch. And the hairy palms named Base Three. Good stuff.
"My hairy palms I've named Base Three" was just one of the great lines in this fantastic parody. Interesting OS that sounds like it should be popular, but I never heard of it before.
(SOTM) Unlike most of the other commentors, I don't get the 'My hairy palms I've name Base Three' line. But like the other commenters, I dig this parody. 555!
Hey, Peter - you been reading my diary from about the time this song came out?
Points for benzine and the nunnery. Fun stuff, Peter
I had never heard of TOS before today, fun OS, good rhyming. . .not bad
This OS was new to me as well. You did a great job with it.You need to find a girl that says "I like him because he makes me laugh"...
SOTM...awww...you're not trying to get sympathy dates now, are you? Great write here, lots of smiles and giggles.
SOTM: No woman will shake my tree was a great line. Funny theme for something a bunch of us have been through :)
