  1.                      2.                      3.
  on the highway          in September            that purple dress
  in Sheboygan            at McDonald's           that little hat
  outside Fresno          ridin' shotgun          that burlap bra
  at a truck stop         wrestlin' gators        those training pants
  on probation            all hunched over        the stolen goods
  in a jail cell          poppin' uppers          that plastic nose
  in a nightmare          sort of pregnant        the Stassin pin
  incognito               with some joggers       the neon sign
  in the Stone Age        stoned on oatmeal       that creepy smile
  in a treehouse          with Merv Griffin       the hearing aid
  in a gay bar            dead all over           the boxer shorts


  She was ______  _____,
            (4)    (5)


  4.                                  5
  sobbin' at the toll booth           in the twilight
  drinkin' Dr. Pepper                 but I loved her
  weighted down with Twinkies         by the off-ramp
  breakin' out with acne              near Poughkeepsie
  crawlin' through the prairie        with her cobra
  smellin' kind of funny              when she shot me
  crashin' through the guardrail      on her elbows
  chewin' on a hangnail               with Led-Zeppelin
  talkin' in Swahili                  with Miss Piggy
  drownin' in the quicksand           with a wetback
  slurpin' up linguini                in her muu-muu


  and I knew _______.  _______ I'd ______ forever;
               (6)       (7)         (8)


  6.                                    7.                     8.
  no guy would ever love her more       I promised her         stay with her
  that she would be an easy score       I knew deep down       warp her mind
  she'd bought her dentures in a store  She asked me if        swear off booze
  that she would be a crashing bore     I told her shrink      change my sex
  I'd never rate her more than "4"      The judge declared     punch her out
  they'd hate her guts in Baltimore     My Pooh Bear said      live off her
  it was a raven, nothing more          I shrieked in pain     have my rash
  we really lost the last World War     The painters knew      stay a dwarf
  I'd have to scrape her off the floor  A Klingon said         hate her dog
  what strong deodorants were for       My hamster thought     pick my nose
  that she was rotten to the core       The blood test showed  play "Go Fish"
  that I would upchuck on the floor     Her rabbi said         salivate


  She said to me ____.  But who'd have thought she'd _____
                  (9)                                (10)


  9.                           10.
  our love would never die     run off
  there was no other guy       wind up
  man wasn't meant to fly      boogie
  that Nixon didn't lie        yodel
  her basset hound was shy     sky dive
  that Rolaids made her high   turn green
  she'd have a swiss on rye    freak out
  she loved my one blue eye    blast off
  her brother's name was Hy    make it
  she liked "Spy vs. Spy"      black out
  that birthdays made her cry  bobsled
  she couldn't stand my tie    grovel


  ___________; _________ goodbye.
     (11)        (12)


  11.                         12.
    with my best friend       You'd think at least that she'd have said
    in my Edsel               I never had the chance to say
    on a surfboard            She told her fat friend Grace to say
    on "The Gong Show"        I now can kiss my credit cards
    with her dentist          I guess I was too smashed to say
    on her "Workmate"         I watched her melt away and sobbed
    with a robot              She fell beneath the wheels and cried
    with no clothes on        She sent a hired thug to say
    at her health club        She freaked out on the lawn and screamed
    in her Maytag             I pushed her off the bridge and waved
    with her guru             But that's the way that pygmies say
    while in labor            She sealed me in the vault and smirked
