Lyrics

Perfect
Music and lyrics by Eddie Pollock


First Verse:
We go out to eat at half past eight.
The food is delicious and the company great.
But when we are through, you say, ?This has been fun,
But I hope you realize the night?s just begun.?


Second Verse:
We drive home and stumble in the back door;
We recklessly drop our stuff on the floor.
You kiss me in a way that?s only meant to arouse,
And I imagine things the law barely allows.

First Chorus:
And I?m thinking this is perfect.
Your wicked perfume provides a subtle tease
As you pull me closer; well, please ?
This is perfect.


Third Verse:
You kiss me everywhere including my cheek.
In various positions that are truly unique.
And just when the night can?t get much hotter,
A little voice cries out, ?Mommy, can I have a glass of water??

Second Chorus:
Perfect?
The kids should be asleep by nine o?clock,
So this little voice comes as quite a shock.
And not perfect.


Spoken:
Then you say,
Trombone solo to emulate the woman.
Why no, I didn?t hear anything.
Trombone solo.
Well can?t you go check on her in a couple of minutes?
Trombone solo.
She?s almost three; let her get her own water.
Trombone solo.
Wrong response, wasn?t it?
Spoken with trombone: Uh-huh.
Fourth Verse:
I sit by myself in the dim moonlight
As I listen to you kiss our daughter goodnight.
Then you tiptoe back to my side
With a bathrobe on, loosely tied.


Fifth Verse:
We giggle and laugh as only parents can do;
We hold and love the whole night through.
And as you fall asleep, I lie beside you and smile
Because at least for just a little while ?

Third Chorus:
I?m thinkin? this is perfect.
Our babies are safe and warm in their rooms ?
A beautiful bride beside her happy groom.
This is perfect.
Nothin? but perfect.
Absolutely perfect.


Spoken:
?Darlin?? Oh, Sleeping Beauty?
Trombone solo barely awake.
Are you awake?
Trombone solo gently stirring.
Can I ask a little favor?
Trombone solo saying sleepily: What is it?
Can you get me some water?
Trombone solo of tempestuous length.
Well, since you put it like that, I?m happily not thirsty at all.
Trombone solo saying with exasperation: Good.
You?re right, that is good.
Trombone solo pleading: Now please go to sleep.
Yup. That?s what I?m doing. I?m going to sleep.
Trombone solo saying with finality: NOW!
Right now. Right away. Right this very minute. (beat) Right after I kiss you good night.
Trombone solo suggesting gentle snoring.
Baby? Are you asleep? (beat and all music stop) Is there any way I could talk you into letting the dog out?
