"Ariel" by Dean Friedman

Way on the other
Side of the Hudson
Deep in the
Bosom of suburbia

I met a young girl
She sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow
And Ave Maria

Standing by the
Waterfall in Paramus Park
She was working
For the friends of BAI

She was collecting
Quarters in a paper cup
She was looking for change
And so was I

She was a Jewish girl
I fell in love with her
She wrote her number
On the back of my hand

I called her up
I was all out of breath
I said, come hear me play
In my rock and roll band

I took a shower and
I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new VW van
She wore a peasant blouse
With nothing underneath

I said hi, she said
Yeah, I guess I am

Ariel, Ariel

We had a little time
We were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen
For something to eat

She had some onion rings
She had a pickle
She forgot to tell me
That she didn't eat meat

I had a gig in the
American Legion hall
It was a dance for the
Volunteer Ambulance Corps

she was sitting in a corner
Against the wall
She would smile and
I melted all over the floor

Ariel, Ariel

I took her home with me
We watched some TV
Annette Funicello and
Some guy going steady

I started fooling around
With the verticle hold
We got the munchies
So I made some spaghetti

We sat and we
Talked into the night
While channel two
Was signing off the air
I found the softness of her mouth
We made love
The bombs bursting in air

Ariel, Ariel
Ariel, Ariel

Way on the other
Side of the Hudson
Deep in the
Bosom of suburbia

I met a young girl
She sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow
And Ave Maria

Tears on my pillow
And Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow
And Ave Maria
