Dear Friend:

I am so sorry about last night
It was a nightmare in every way
But together you and I
Will laugh at last night someday....

Ice cream. He brought me ice cream!
Vanilla ice cream, imagine that!
Ice cream!
And for the first time
We were together without a spat!

Friendly
He was so friendly
That isn't like him
I'm simply stunned
Will wonders never cease? Will wonders never cease?
It's been a most peculiar day!
Will wonders never cease? Will wonders never cease?

Oh, where was I?

I am so sorry about last night
It was a nightmare in every way
But together you and I
Will laugh at last night someday!

I sat there waiting in that cafe
And never guessing that you were fat...ooh!
That you were near..
You were outside looking bald...oh no!

Dear Friend
I am so sorry about last night

Last night I was so nasty!
Well, he deserved it but even so
That Georg is not like this Georg
This is a new Georg that I don't know

Somehow it all reminds me
Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
When right before my eyes
A man that I despise
Has turned into a man I like!
It's almost like a dream
As strange as it may seem
He came to offer me vanilla ice cream!
