She works in Iceland at the till
And gives the older men a thrill,
I guess I really like her too
As I stand there fumbling in the queue.
She's not some youngster fresh from school
Who's bound to treat you as a fool,
Some teenager who thinks they're cool
(Curt and dismissive as a general rule) .
She's pretty in a homely way
And a smile from her can make my day,
Her name is Lyndsey and she's fine -
I wish that I could make her mine,
But I am just an average guy
And don't have time to wonder why
The world is made a better place
By an honest girl with a friendly face!
