I was sitting there in a comfortable chair

And that was all that I needed

Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share

And that was all that I needed

Well, then I felt at ease

But then I'm not too hard to please

I guess you couldn't call me greedy

Then I was shocked to look up

And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy

She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair

And that was all that I needed

And I said to my friend, good god, we're lucky men just to even see her

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her

And that was all that I needed

I walked and loomed around her table for a while

And that was all that I needed

Then I said, i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?

And that was all that I needed

She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper

And that was all that I needed

Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth

And that was all that I needed

Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see

That that was all that I needed

I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'

So I asked her one more time, could I have another favor?

That was all that I needed

She was kind and posed with me

Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

Take, take, take

She turned and said to me, I need to go to sleep,

And it seemed so mean

It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being

She said, good night and walked away

And I didn't know what to say

I just couldn't believe it

Well, it's just not fair

I want to get a piece of hair

That was all that I needed

Or maybe a kiss on the cheek

I wouldn't wash it for a week

That would be all that I needed

But she didn't even care

That I was even there

What a horrible feeling
