I'm going to ask your friends your number

And I'll call you when your man is out of town

And if I say the right words at the right time

Then perhaps you'll even have me 'round

And wouldn't it be a funny situation

The two of us and a comic conversation



How's the world been treating you you'd say

Trying not to get involved in any way

Have you been as fancy free

As how you said you'd like to be

Comic Conversation will pass the time of day



When all the while I'm dying to reach out

And hold you in my arms the way I used to do

I cannot help thinking that you feel the same

But comic conversation rules the game



I'd like to spin a web

And wrap you in its silver thread and

Feel you sway

Oh-oh, but many years have passed

And with them went the right I ever had to

Feel this way

No-oh, there isn't going to be a happy ending

I think I should be going soon

I can't keep on pretending



How's the world been treating you you'd say

Trying not to get involved in any way

Oh have you been as fancy free

As how you said you'd like to be

Comic Conversation will pass the time of day



When all the while I'm dying to reach out

And hold you in my arms the way I used to do

And I cannot help thinking that you feel the same

But comic conversation is the only way
