Donna

Words and Music By Erik Gillberg ©2005

Big house party in the Hollywood Hills
(above the city)
I don’t know how they ever paid the bills
(They robbed a bank)
Red Hot Peppers on the stereo
(Flea slaps the bass)
I met a girl named Donna, Donna Belagio
Eyes locked from across the room
(What did she do?)
She gave me a look would have made King Tut sit up in his tomb
She took me out on the dance floor
And put her arms around my neck
Her skin was smooth and her touch was warm
I became a wreck
Donna said she would take me home
But I didn’t know
(Chorus) D-O-N-N-A sounds like L-O-L-A Ray
Davies sang about it before
But I must tell my story
D-O-N-N-A sounds like L-O-L-A Ray
Davies sang about it the best
But oh my god she looks good in that dress
4 o’clock and the music stopped
I was just about to do the same
Donna came and sat on my lap and said,
“I didn’t get your name”
I said, “Donna, baby, I like your style
I like it how you break the rules
But it would be a shame, a crying game
If I let you play me for a fool
(Chorus)
And as they both sink beneath the waves
Frog cries out, “Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion?
For now we will both drown.”
Scorpion replies, “I can’t help it, it’s in my nature!”
(Chorus)
