At the station you can meet her
With that smile you couldna€™t cheat her
A woman that kind is hard to find

Ita€™s good to take a girl
In the not so very good world
And walk in the park until it gets dark

Sometimes I feel ugly and old
Excuse me, baby, if Ia€™m acting bold
My head gets hot but my feet arena€™t cold
Excuse me if you will

Take a breather on a bench
Helps to build up the suspense
Then the two of you go to a movie show

If shea€™s a woman therea€™s a chance
That she maybe likes to dance
So you go to the hall and you out step a€?em all
Dona€™t make a hullabaloo, Ia€™m not the hoi polloi
Ia€™ll try any trick and Ia€™ll pull any ploy
Ia€™m a used up twentieth century boy
Excuse me if you will

She takes you home to meet the folks
Laughing at the fathers jokes
Shall we watch TV? Ita€™s all right with me

Time to go, youa€™re going to miss her
In the doorway try to kiss her
Oh, it tastes so good like you hoped it would

If I was 16 again Ia€™d give my eyetooth
Ia€™m tired and Ia€™m hungry and Ia€™m looking for my youth
Ia€™m a little uncool and Ia€™m a little uncouth
Oh, excuse me, yes, excuse me if you will

At the station you can meet her
With that smile you couldna€™t cheat her
A woman that kind is hard to find
