“She Won An Emi”

She asked for a puppy, it was Christmas of '68.
Bonnie and Clyde owned the movies, and so did Planet of Apes.
The hair was long and the Rolling Stones, Jumped Jack Flash live on air.
The Monkeys and Beach Boys gave it their best shots, but “Hey Jude” claimed all the fan-fare.

She rotary dialed. Her daddy just smiled.
I'm bringin' you somthin' wild.

She Won An “Emi” One Afternoon.
Her Daddy Left the Office Said He'll Be Home Soon.
When He Walked Through the Door, Her Eyes Became Glued,
to the Pretty Little Girl In the Room.
One Afternoon.

She cried as she held her, for the very first time in her arms.
The Hendrix Experience played the radio, but the doors hello love charmed.
And the first ATM was installed and began, the cold hard cash did dispense.
Then Richard Nixon created some real fiction, and spent his last days President.

Then she held out her hand. Her daddy did stand.
Then he gave her this something grand.

She Won An “Emi” One Afternoon.
Her Daddy Left the Office Said He'll Be Home Soon.
When He Walked Through the Door, Her Eyes Became Glued,
to the Pretty Little Girl In the Room.
One Afternoon.
(solo) One Afternoon.

Boeing seven forty, seven made it's inaugural flight.
The Big Mac sold their first heart attack, and transplants were done in the night.
The London Bridge sold for 1 Million, and transferred to the desert Arizon-_.
A star was born, Will Smith toots his horn, and Martin Luther King Jr. goes home.

But the girl wanted friends. So her daddy gave in.
Then gave a little kin in a pen.

She Won An “Emi” One Afternoon.
Her Daddy Left the Office Said He'll Be Home Soon.
When He Walked Through the Door, Her Eyes Became Glued,
to the Pretty Little Girl In the Room.
One Afternoon. One Afternoon.
