Dean Friedman - Ariel lyrics

rate me

by Dean Friedman

Way on the other side of the Hudson,

deep in the bosom of suburbia,

I met a young girl, she sang mighty fine,

Tears on My Pillow and Ave Maria.

Standing by the waterfall in Paramus Park

she was working for the Friends-of-BAI

She was collecting quarters in a paper cup.

She was looking for change and so was I.

She was a Jewish girl. I fell in love with her.

She wrote her number on the back of my hand.

I called her up, I was all out of breath, I said,

"Come hear me play in my rock and roll band.

I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans.

I picked her up in my new VW van.

She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath.

I said, "Hi". She said, "Yeah, I guess I am."

Ariel…

We had a little time, we were real hungry.

We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat.

She had some onion rings. She had a pickle.

She forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat.

I had a gig in the American Legion Hall.

It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corp.

She was sitting in a corner against the wall.

She would smile and I melted all over the floor.

Ariel…

I took her home with me. We watched some TV,

Annette Funicello and some guy going steady.

I started fooling around with the vertical hold.

We got the munchies and I made some spaghetti.

We sat and we talked into the night,

while channel 2 was signing off the air.

I found the softness of her mouth.

We made love to bombs bursting in Arrrrrriel….

Ariel…
