about

Written on the napkin in a lovely, old-fashioned hotel dining room in the Scottish Borders. Admiration more than lust!

lyrics

Monica Is Taller Than Me

Monica is waiting on tables, Monica’s waltzing through tables
The eyes in the room are turned onto her
Monica’s taller than me, three inches taller than me

Monica knows what she’s doing, she’s in control of what she’s doing
I think she’s noticed I’m watching her
Monica’s taller than me, looking right down on me

Her mouth is small, her lips are juicy
Her eyes, Scottish grey, her nose retroussé

Monica’s not really her name, truth is I don’t know her name
I have to call her something, I have to call her soon
Shooting for the moon, I’d just be shooting for the moon

Monica’s younger than me, noticeably younger than me
I know that I can dream, but I’m really what I seem
Monica’s younger than me, thirty years younger than me

Her mouth is small, her lips are juicy
Her eyes, Scottish grey, her nose retroussé

Monica’s down on her knees, clearing up carrots and peas
My evening’s nearly done, I’m not her kind of fun
Monica’s taller than me, three inches taller than me
Thirty years younger than me, Monica is taller than me
