The Big Impression

Verse I

I think that I first noticed her the spring I turned 14, though she lived round the corner all my life.

Why she had lip, golden hair and eyes of hazel green that danced around my mind all day and night.

I tried to make a big impression on her…….to catch her eye I’d tease her till she’d scream.

One night after dark I hid out in her bushes, throwing pebbles at her window screen.

Verse II

I got to give him credit ‘cause he never made a sound when he crept up on me quite as a cat.

And grabbed with one hairy arm and picked me off the ground, in his other hand I say a baseball bat.

He said I see you got an interest in my daughter, I always knew this day would come along.

But you ain’t goin’ ‘bout this like you aught’a (aughter) so I’m gonna tell you what you’re doin’ wrong.

Chorus

If you wanna come a callin’ you knock on my front door, if her momma answers, you tip your hat.

Don’t pay no mind to me out in the kitchen, cause I always carry ‘round this baseball bat.

Treat her like a lady keep your hands in your pockets, have her home just when I tell you to.

And we’ll both get along just fine and dandy, and I won’t have to make…….a Big Impression on you!

Verse III

Well it’s been so many years ago that girl became my wife, and now we’ve got a daughter of our own.

There’s a boy who lives just down the street whose known her all his life, who seems to notice just how much she’s grown.

Well her old granddaddy had the right idea, he made his big impression that’s a fact

Think I’ll call him up just to see how he’s doin’, and see if he’s still got that baseball bat

Chorus

Cause…If you wanna come a callin’ you knock on my front door, if her momma answers you tip your hat.

Don’t pay no mind to me out in the kitchen, cause I always carry ‘round this baseball bat.

Treat her like a lady keep your hands in your pockets, have her home just when I tell you to.

And we’ll both get along just fine and dandy, and I won’t have to make…….a Big Impression on you! Repeat line

Yah we’re gonna get along just fine!
