Want Ad Reader Lyrics

Want ad reader
He was looking in the classifieds to see what he could find
But the ad that caught his eye was in the personal line
Said I'm lonely and the only girl in town without a guy
If you're single, wanna mingle, write box 2-5
Want ad reader
Go ahead and reply

Well she said she was a beauty queen, a terrible lie
He said I'm straight and handsome, what a crooked reply
He made the date and looked at her and thought he'd been had
Then he took off screaming, no more reading classified ads
Want ad reader
About to blow his mind

Want ad reader

He said one day I think I'm gonna try it again
So he read and checked the column headed "Help Wanted Man"
It said, "If you're all alone and wanna get a good wife"
"I'm young and need a man to share my personal life"
Want ad reader
Go and give it a try

He called and told her that he'd meet her Saturday night
But he thought about the last time what a terrible fright
So he broke the date because he knew she had to be bad
'cause only losers advertise in classified ads
Want ad reader
About to lose his mind
Want ad reader
