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
