VERSE 2
And I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there Famous movie actress who appeared in over
In a place so seedy 60 movies from the 1920s to 1970s.
She walked into the bar with her long red curly hair (B. 1918 in Brooklyn, NY; D. 1987 in New York, NY)
And that was all that I needed
And I said to my friend
'Good God we re lucky men
Well, to just even see her'

VERSE 3
Yeah, I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
And that was all that I needed
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
And that was all that I needed
Then I said, 'I hate to bug you, Ma am
But can I have your autograph?'
And that was all that I needed
VERSE 4
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
And that was all that I needed
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
And that was all that I needed
Then she handed it to me
And I think that she could see
That that was all that I needed
VERSE 5
I started to walk away, but then I remembered, hey
I forgot to get a picture
So I asked her one more time, could I have another favor
That was all that I needed
She was kind to pose with me
Then I know my friends would see
My celebrity meeting
Chorus
VERSE 6
She turned and said to me, 'I need to go to sleep'
And it seemed so mean
It s almost as if she did not appreciate
How cool I was being
She said, 'Goodnight' and walked away
And I didn t know what to say
I just couldn t believe it
VERSE 7
Well it s just not fair, I wanted to get a piece of hair
And that was all that I needed
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn t wash it for a week
That would be all that I needed
But she didn t even care
That I was even there
What a horrible feeling
