I met her at a baseball game
that got held up by August rain
beneath the mezzanine
I huddled up against her hand
By then the rain had left the ground
and Seaver threw a few on the mound
We stood to face the flag
that flew above the Navy band
Then the anthem began to blare
the stadium it right through the old thin air
and I knew this was the time
to make my pitch
Won't you come home with me
have a room you should see
with a warm waterbed
and a pillow for your head
I've a robe you could wear
and a smoke we could share
You are blonde, I am tall
and I think that says it all
A quick glass of wine
then I'll feed you a line
Nilsson will sing
and you won't feel a thing
Oh say you will stay with me
Love, must I say I love you
Well, how ya like my pad?
oh it's great
I mean, I love purple
I, I bet you're an Aquarius aren't you
No, actually I'm a Leo
I knew you were one of those
You know, Leos are very big on women's lib
I don't uh believe in women's lib

I'm just tryin to hi-five ya
Aw, that's pretty
Oh, what kind of wine is this

Are you having a terrific time?

Oh stay for a lifetime

So you didn't tell me your name
My name is Karen
That was my mother's name
that got held up by August rain
beneath the mezzanine
