Close But No Cigar - Weird Al Yankovic

Close But No Cigar LRC歌词

[00:04.87]Album:Straight Outta Lynwood

[00:07.78]Jillian was her name

[00:10.58]She was sweeter than aspartame

[00:14.08]Her kisses reconfigured my DNA

[00:17.87]And after that I never was the same

[00:21.95]And I loved her even more

[00:25.31]Than Marlon Brando loved souffle

[00:28.49]She was gorgeous, she was charming

[00:32.01]Yeah, she was perfect in every way

[00:36.14]Except she was always using the word "infer"

[00:40.02]When she obviously meant "imply"

[00:43.94]And I know some guys would put up with that kind of thing

[00:47.40]But frankly, I can't imagine why

[00:50.67]And I told her, I said

[00:51.87]"Hey! Are we playing horseshoes, honey?

[00:55.18]No, I don't think we are!

[00:58.02]You're close! (Close!)

[01:00.34]But no cigar!"

[01:03.76]Yankovic-Close But No Cigar

[01:07.00]Then I met sweet young Janet

[01:09.43]Prettiest thing on the planet

[01:13.12]Had a body hotter than a habanjero

[01:17.49]She had lips like a ripe pomegranate

[01:20.82]And I was crazy like Manson about her

[01:23.97]She got me all choked up like Momma Cass

[01:28.35]She had a smile so incredibly radiant

[01:31.44]You had to watch it through a piece of smoked glass

[01:35.62]I thought after all these years of searching around

[01:39.40]I'd found my soulmate finally

[01:42.55]But one day I found OUT she actually owned a copy

[01:46.99]Of Joe Dirt on DVD

[01:49.81]Oh, no! I said

[01:50.96]"Hey! Are we lobbing hand grenades, kiddo?

[01:54.89]No I don't think we are!

[01:57.32]You're close! (Close!)

[01:59.75]Oh, so very close! (Close!)

[02:03.92]Yeah, baby, you're close! (Close!)

[02:07.01]So close!

[02:08.94]But no cigar!"

[02:15.99](Oh, yeah!)

[02:19.63](Oh, no!)

[02:22.30](Oh, yeah!)

[02:25.09](Oh, no!)

[02:26.71](ALL RIGHT!)

[02:30.69]
[Hand claps, trumpet solo]

[02:35.66]Julie played water polo

[02:37.97]She wore a ribbon on her left manolo

[02:42.16]She had me sweating like Nixon every time she was near

[02:46.00]My heart was beating like a Buddy Rif solo

[02:49.91]And she was everything I've dreamed of

[02:53.42]She moved right up to #1 on my list

[02:56.96]And did I mention she's a world famous billionare

[03:00.65]Bikini supermodel astrophysicist

[03:04.34]Yeah, she was so pretty she made Charlize Theron

[03:07.94]Look like a big fat slobbering pig

[03:11.57]The only caveat is one of her earlobes

[03:15.66]Was just a little tiny bit too big

[03:18.72]I said

[03:19.89]"Hey! Are we doing government work here?

[03:23.31]No I don't think we are!

[03:25.89]You're close! (Close!)

[03:28.35]So very, very close! (Close!)

[03:32.25]Aaw, baby, you're close! (Close!)

[03:36.07]So close!

[03:37.21]But no cigar!"

[03:39.76]Missed it by that much! (No cigar!)

[03:42.22]Ah, yeah! Ah, right! (No cigar!)

[03:45.89]Really, really, really close! (No cigar!)
