Wrong Ideas

(Shel Silverstein)



Well, alright you can sit down but just for a minute

I'm not as lonely as I might appear

But you've got a friendly smile so we can sit and talk awhile

But don't go gettin' any wrong ideas.



A drink well thank you no I never touch it

Well, well, maybe just once little glass of beer

And a dance just might be fun but I can only stay for one

So don't go gettin' any wrong ideas.



Don't go thinking 'cause I'm drinking

One last drink with you

That I'm the kind to lose my mind

the way some women do.



Well, here we are yes that's my house there on the corner

No, you can't come up let's say good night right here

Well, maybe just a minute or so but then you'll really have to go

So don't go gettin' any wrong ideas.



No darling, don't go gettin' any wrong ideas...
