I thought I saw you in the Battleship
But it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick
Close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed whoever was sitting there
And she held me very tightly
'Til I asked awfully politely
can I call you her name?"
I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
Messin' with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a bro ken arm
So close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in Letraset
"No, you can't call me her
I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
On the phone to the mid dle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
Well, you couldn't get much closer
She said, "I'm really not supposed to, but yes
You can call me anything you want
