lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oi

We met outside the Sainsbury's local
On the high street quarter to four
We had a chat about dental hygiene
She said prevention is better than cure

Walking up the hill
Making conversation
It was going well
Until she asked the question

Would you like to play tennis with me?
I said yeah maybe and I hoped she wouldn’t see that I’m

Too shy for tennis
Too shy for tennis
I’m not ready for that
(We’ve only just met)

Too shy for tennis
How do I end this?
Conversation quick snap

Anyway

We went to watch an action thriller
At the the local picture house
We got the bus to the entertainment complex
I can’t remember what we talked about
When the film was done it was still quite early
So we took a walk up to the bowling alley
Where she said do you want to go bowling with me?
I said I’ve got a bad shoulder it’s just too risky
But I’m

Too shy for bowling
Too shy for bowling
Too self conscious for that
(I’m sorry)
Too shy for bowling
Her eyes were rolling
Well I guess that is that
