Paula (An Improvised Love Song)

May I have this dance?
 You already took it
 But now
 A Gershwin tune?
 No, no, no, no
 A Garfield melody
 You wrote a song?
 Not yet
 I love improvisation!
 Paula
 On my knees you're so much taller
 But to please you I would crawl across the
 New Jersey turnpike
 She makes my tail begin to wag
 And nothing on earth could improve her
 And if my lyrics make you gag
 I'll apply the Sondheimlich maneuver
 Paula
 There's no need to overhaul her
 I am ready to install her in my heart
 Yeah!
 So let's get wise and improvise some great theater
 We'll split a pizza
 Hit the sheets a little later
 Near Paula, my damn electric cardiogram jumps the charts
 You sing to me and I'm elated
 You might say ad-liberated
 Though it's impromptu
 I'm too calm to sweat
 The serenade that you've concocted is what the doctor prescribed
 And his prescriptions seem unfillable
 Still I thrill at every syllable
 Paula
 I'm determined to enthrall her
 It's a name I'd like to scrawl across the sky
 With shooting stars
 Celestial graffiti at least a mile high
 I've fallen for Paula
 I can't deny
 Hey, Paula
 Like a sniper from Angola
 Shot me down but I parole her for one kiss
 Maybe a French one
 I'd be your jukebox to the dame
 I'd give you free plays for a quarter
 Eh, man, all you have to do is turn me on
 I'm like a sorta short-order Cole Porter
 Paula, Paula, Paula
 I'd give you my last dollar
 Put me on a leash and collar, Paula
 Feed me quiche
 Yes
 For Paula knows if Paula decided to grant my fondest wish
 I'd cling like a barnacle, no capiche
 ♪
 Paula (That name has a ring to me)
 I am gaga over Paula (I tingle when you sing to me)
 My pulse and hopes are rising
 So let's keep improvising
 Trust the good karma
 We harmonize
 And love to be like this song
 Paula
 What happened to Paula?
 Who knows, so we'll just make it up as we go along
