CEDAR ISLE RESTAURANT AND CLUB

at Cedar Isle
i walked the miracle mile
many topless Texas nights with a smile
on the back patio
with Mrs. Kitty behind the bar
with cheese sticks and Cuervo
and the breeze off the Cedar Creek Lake
making all the girls shake
to the beat that the waves would make
or the bop that the drummer would play
all liquored up and looking to get laid
and then not to remember her name
the next morning
with a scotch and soda
all these bedroom relations
in the dark revelations
in the laps of margarita girls
sitting on barstools, bar tabs, even barflies and beyond
eating burritos and drinking boilermakers
blues bands on the jukebox
tilapia
how 'bout a toast to Old Ted
here's to Old Ted
and to Mrs. Kitty
and to Goldslager Gary
and all the gangsters in the poolroom
and all the lawyers on the barstools in the front room
and a dozen oysters on the half shell
and all of these drunkards who are going to hell
if they don't change their evil ways
and all the bumps in the bathroom
and bimbos on the bandstand
or the blondes offshore on the boats
or the volleyball bikinis in the sandbox rocks
the wet t-shirt contest gone awry
but it's alright
the best time to buy a beer is
oh hey there girl come over here
come for some conversation and cocktails
and come home with me
or just come over undercover
and buy me another drink
or maybe you'd like something to eat
and then i'll eat you
or maybe Ted's tortilla soup will do
or maybe a nice midnight cruise
to this safe spot that i know
WHERE WE CAN TAKE OFF ALL OUR CLOTHES
and skinny dip in the moonlight's soft glow
or we can go back inside and watch satellite TV
or we could even go water ski
or we could just sit here and drink
or maybe you could just sing to me
every karaoke night of the week
which is on Wednesday and always makes me weep
but the drinks are always so cheap
and i somehow always know what is up
