Prettiest Girl - Ben Miller Band

Well, I got up my nerve to get up and ask you

If you’d be inclined to dance

You looked at me like I was some kind of pervert

And said, «I'd rather not, but thanks»

I thought to myself «I'd rather not either

If you’re gonna treat me so mean»

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But girl, that don’t make you no queen

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost over

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost done

And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on

Of being the belle of the ball

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But girl, that’s pretty much all

Now, ain’t you got nothing to learn like a lesson

As you’re walking home all alone

Wasn’t your outfit beautiful perfection

But tell me dear, who’d ever know

Oh, all across town there’s big ugly girls

And they’re giggling and they’re unwrapping condoms

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

Girl, that might be your problem

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost over

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost done

And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on

Of being the belle of the ball

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But girl, that’s pretty much all

Now, if you don’t mind, I’ll tell you your fortune

You’re gonna get old and die

And you’re gonna get fat and you’re gonna get ugly

And you’re gonna sit there and cry

Well, I don’t need no Tarot or no crystal ball

And I don’t wanna look at your palms

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But pretty don’t stay pretty for long

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost over

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But the dance is almost done

And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on

Of being the belle of the ball

You’re the prettiest girl at the dance

But girl, that’s pretty much all
