My Rival

The wind was driving in my face

The smell of prickly pear

(My rival show me my rival)

The milk truck eased into my space

Somebody scream somewhere

I struck a match

Against the door of Anthony's bar and grill

I was the whining stranger

A fool in love

With time to kill

I've got detectives on his case

They filmed the whole charade

(My rival show me my rival)

He's got a scar across his face

He wears a hearing aid

Sure he's a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes

I'll match him whim for whim now

I still recall when I first held

Your tiny hand in mine

(My rival show me my rival)

I loved you more than I can tell

But now it's stomping time

Sure he's a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes

I'll match him whim for whim now
