Almost Persuaded #2 Lyrics by Ben Colder

Big Ben Strikes Again

0

[Verse 1]
Last night I stumbled in to a barroom
I met a girl with a pint in her purse
She was cute as two speckled puppies
And I said, "Ben, you could do worse"
[Verse 2]
Then I walked across a room full of tables
Walked across her table too
And I flopped myself down in a chair
And said, "Hi there"
She whispered my name is Mabel
And all I could say was, "Hi there"
I said, "Permit me to introduce myself Ben Colder here"
She said, "It ain't been no colder here than anyplace elsе"
[Chorus]
I had her almost persuaded
What happеned to the doodle-doodle-do?
Thank you
To slip- strip herself of her pride
Almost persuaded
To slip me a drink on the side
[Verse 3]
Then we danced and we danced and we danced and we danced
That is I thought I was dancing 'til somebody stepped on my hand
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I thought, "That sure is strange I ain't even married"
What it was it was my wrist watch
[Chorus]
I had her almost persuaded
Once more there Hargus
To come and be my own
Smart aleck
(Almost persuaded)
Then her boyfriend came and made me go home
