Story behind the piece:
Lookin' just lookin', part of my "Songs of Solomons" collection, is a humorous look at the personal ads, although I invented the actual adverts in this song, to avoid possible late night phone calls!
Young man, twenty four, lookin' for a soul mate:
slim dark handsome versatile.
Who will answer? Will it be the man of my dreams?
Will he be the one, will he write to me,
will he like my style,
will we get on?
[Chorus]
Looking, just looking at the personal ads, can we find true love?
Are they the people waiting only for us?
waiting for a letter, waiting for a letter,
looking, looking.
Kindly lady, thirty eight, cuddly butch and lively,
likes a laugh and country walks.
Who will answer will it be the girl of my dreams?
Will she be the one, will she write to me, will she like my style,
will we get on?
[Chorus]
Leather wearing, fifty four, into whips and bondage:
genuine answers only, please!
Who will answer, will it be the whip of my my dreams?
Will he be the one, will he write to me,
will he like my style,
will we get on?
[Chorus]
Grey panther ninety two, into older women,
cuddle to my Zimmerframe,
Who will answer, will it be the crutch of my dreams?
Will she be the one, will she write to me,
will she like my style,
will we get on?
[Chorus]
