PINK PELICAN BRIDGE

WORDS AND MUSIC:
MONTE THOMAS &
D. SPILLETT

VERSE:
LATE JULY BACK IN '83
THE SHYEST BOY YOU'VE EVER SEEN
IF A GIRL WOULD SAY HELLO I RAN AND HID
THE LAST SUMMER I WENT TO CAMP
MAKES ME SMILE JUST THINKIN' BACK
ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL AND THE
PINK PELICAN BRIDGE

I GOT EMBARRASSED BY A GIRL WHO KNEW
IF SHE KISSED ME WHAT I'D DO
I'D RUN AWAY AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I DID .
UNDER THE BRIDGE WHERE I WOULD HIDE
I SAW A GIRL ON THE OTHER SIDE
WHO SAT ALONE UNDER THE
PINK PELICAN BRIDGE

CHORUS
WE NEVER SAID A WORDTO ONE ANOTHER
WE NEVER CROSSED THE BRIDGE TO THE OTHER
WE JUST SAT THERE FOR A WHILE
WHEN SHE GOT UP TO LEAVE SHE SMILED
I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVE
BUT I WAS JUST A KID UNDER THE
PINK PELICAN BRIDGE

VERSE:
NO MEMORY HAS BEEN QUITE AS STRONG
MOST THINGS IN LIFE DON'T LAST THAT LONG
BUT I'M STILL A LITTLE SHY I MUST ADMIT
I WON'T FORGET WHEN I FIRST LOVED
HOPE THOSE THOUGHTS KEEP POPPIN' UP
OF THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE
PINK PELICAN BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS
