Here she stands in the doorway Her face is framed in golden light With creamy thighs and bedroom eyes Call it “Urchin With an Appetite” My favorite shirt — my terry towel A bowl of cherries in her hand It’s breakfast and some headshots That she’s bringing for her brand new man
It’s a one — it’s a two — it’s a three It’s a three picture deal I said a one — it’s a two — it’s a three It’s a three picture deal
Her new house on the hillside Some blocks above the Sunset Strip The yoga den is megazen The vibey lighting ultrahip She’s gushing on her cellphone The trainer’s on eternal hold Producer X is talking film But the bottom line is solid gold
With a one — maybe two — even three Yes a three picture deal Yes it’s a one — even two — or a three Yes a three picture deal
Well she’s leaving in the limo She’s sorry but they’re running late The night is here — the big premiere It’s “The Lady and the Reprobate” Now a man like me should never be Where a man like me does not belong But I know they’re gonna need a soundtrack I know they’re gonna need a song
For the one Two Three Three picture deal
