My Rival

The wind was driving in my face

The smell of prickly pear

[my rival - show me my rival]The milk truck eased into my space

Somebody screamed somewhere

I struck a match against the door

Of anthony's bar and grill

I was the whining stranger

A fool in love

With time to kill

I've got detectives on his case

They filmed the whole charade

[my rival - show me my rival]He's got a scar across his face

He wears a hearing aid

Sure he's a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes I'll match him whim for whim now

I still recall when I first held

Your tiny hand in mine

[my rival - show me my rival]I loved you more than I can tell

But now it's stomping time

Sure he's a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes I'll match him whim for whim now
