Lyrics_

Verse 1

You, Lynyrd Skynyrd hat

And me, little kiddy

Sat across with the velvet jacket

Wild orange hair, and dark, dark eyes

I gawked, like a twelve-year-old smitten

Carla the Stripper

Straight from L.A.

You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth

Lets be pals some day . . . in other words

Put some clothes on and call me

Chorus

I saw you

It was incredible

Verse 2

Slim, relaxed buyin’ wine at the QFC

On a snowy Saturday night

Black pearls and I swear you were drinkin’ beer

You were the red-head behind the counter there

I’m the one who though of his chair there

You had your dry-cleaning and I think your dreaming

Chorus/Outro

I saw you

It was incredible

Mumbled these words at you

Unintelligible

Ma Ma Ma Ma

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma

Ma Ma Hey ugh uhh yuh what time is it?

(I saw you, it was incredible)
