about

“39 Women” – the guy who used to brag about getting horizontal with all the girls in high school shows up years later at the reunion, and nobody remembers him. One of many songs here that are about as far away from biographical as they can possibly get.

lyrics

39 WOMEN

Douglas S. Benson

39 women I have made love to
All showed up at the high school reunion
They with their husbands, me with my third wife
39 women don’t remember my name

39 women with 46 pictures
Of 41 babies just learning to crawl
Most of them look like their mothers and fathers
Some look like me or like no one at all

I told so many lies to those 39 women
I couldn’t keep track of them all
If I hadn’t contracted this social disease
I’d still be having a ball

39 women went home with their husbands
I went home with a picture of me
I know what I look like
I know that I would like
One of those women to remember my name.


[Background singers]
You told us naught but lies
We closed our eyes to
Remember you

Now we’re not too impressed
By your request to
Remember you
