Thanks for the concert, it was quite enlightening
Although Mahler does tend to make me wanna do myself in
And now we'll top off the night with some cognac and coffee
And we'll talk about all the places we've been
I'm impressed by your French, I'm impressed by your English
I'm impressed that I'll risk what I've got on my mind
I would trade all this in and this Burberry jacket
For a date of a different kind
'Cos I wanna knit you wool sweaters with little deer all over
I wanna feed you from my kitchen till your belt feels too tight
I wanna make love till three and never judge my performance
On a Midwestern Saturday night
Now I can see you're confused when confronted with jello
And I'm certain you're lost when there's four feet of snow
And you think I'm the kind who could tear down Manhattan
But I prefer nights with no place to go
Just a Wisconsin cap and a reliable pickup
Just a vise-grips and a pair of old dungarees
Just a set of four seasons and a good long October
And a good man who's looking at me
'Cos I wanna knit you wool sweaters with little deer all over
I wanna feed you from my kitchen till your belt feels too tight
I wanna make love till three and never judge my performance
On a Midwestern Saturday night
Yes my thinking's as straight as the Panhandle's narrow
Yes my thinking's as straight as the prairie is plain
Let me fix you some oatmeal, let me talk to your mother
Let me try one more time to explain
That I wanna knit you wool sweaters with little deer all over
I wanna feed you from my kitchen till your belt feels too tight
I wanna make love till three and never judge my performance
On a Midwestern Saturday night
