I met her on the escalators

By Howie

Strolling through the mall
Feeling kind of lucky
Getting new socks
And getting new undies
Up to level 3 I must go
I cant afford myer its off to lowes

And there she was
Smiling in her bright red top.
I was going up
She was going down
Our eyes connected
I new it was love.

I met her on the escalators
I saw her in the foodcourt
We passed near the supermarket
And later near the elevators

She’s gonna be mine
I can tell by the look in her eyes
I can tell as she goes by
Down to level 2
Up to level 3
The escalators are bringing her to me

She’s gonna be mine
I can tell by the look in her eyes
I can tell as she goes by
Down to level 2
Up to level 3
The escalators are bringing her to me

I walked past a jewller
And picked out a ring
I was thinking flowers
I was thinking dinner
It was time to propose
It was now or never

I snuck up behind her
In front of centre stage
Down on my knees
Begging her please
Will you marry me
My escalator girl

She burst out in tears
Her arms wrapped around me
Yes she cried
And yes she cried again
Please take my hand
Be my escalator man!

We got married in the carpark
With bridesmaids from Ikea
The reception in woolworths
Honeymoon in starbucks

She is mine
I can tell by the look in her eyes
I can tell as she goes by
Down to level 2
Up to level 3
The escalators have brought her to me
The escalators have brought her to me
The escalators have brought her to me
The escalators have brought her to me

    I like it, a little more personal than “my truck driving Mumma”. I think this will let your audience see a different side to you. I’m visualising the film clip already… Do you have a white suit?
