Verse: 1 I bet you're wondering what's in the case And just why it has come with us to dinner on our second date When we're trying to have fun Pre-Chorus Well I may be taller than some More handsome than some Even darker than a select few But it seems every goddamn eligible young man Would give his left nut for you All I can do is play Songs on the mandolin So I'll play you a song on the mandolin There'll be too many notes, but then again There ain't too many folks can play too many notes on the mandolin Verse: 2 As you can see by the scattered applause Some might say I'm a catch I hope that I've at least given you pause As we wait for the check Pre-Chorus You may be sweeter than most More gifted than most And much hotter than all but a few But I'll go even God ain't the model of restraint showing you what he can do Doesn't mean you don't need Songs on the mandolin So I'll play you a song on the mandolin There'll be too many notes, but then again There ain't too many folks can play too many notes on the mandolin Bridge You may be calmer than me More well rounded than me As over me as I'm into you But ain't it a proven fact that opposites attract? I can't play it cool--you can! I can't play along--you could! I can't play it safe--you do! But you can't play yourself a song on the mandolin So I'll play you a song on the mandolin There'll be too many notes, but then again There ain't too many folks can play too many notes There ain't too many folks can play too many notes There ain't too many folks can play too many notes on the mandolin
