The original demo for this track appeared as the instrumental "Faux Jean Int'l/The Cinder-Block Sock Hop" on the 2002 Faux Jean release, "Nature."

This version, with lyrics, and re-titled "Will You Fly Me to Rome?" was recorded around 2002-3 on a Tascam Portastudio 4 Track, and then manipulated digitally later.

lyrics

Will You Fly Me to Rome?

You go out to bars
Where you don’t know no one
But you know you’ll find someone
Who thinks your made of drinks and
she lets you drive her home

She’s never been in a Hummer
So she thinks you’re okay
She might even think you’re fine
But I know when I say
Either way it’s a game
She’ll take you for a ride
If she lets you come up
To the murphy-bed-luck-pad
To get your rocks off
Twisting to the Hi-Fi
That’s up on cinder blocks and the rocks are off

Shimmy shimmy shake
Shimmy gimme wake and bake
It’s the new dance in town
Get in line
Right behind
Waste no time
Or you’ll wait in line
At the Cinder Block Sock Hop
The cinder blocks are soft
Twisting to the Hi-Fi that’s up on cinder blocks
And the rocks are off

It’s not a situation
Where you gotta pay in
Maybe take her shopping
This way she’ll hit play for you
Again at the sock hop
Where the cinder blocks are soft
(Radix malorum est cupiditas)
Twisting to the Hi-Fi
(Radix malorum est cupiditas)
Twisting to the sock hop
Sock hop
Rocks off

Vis-a-vis the new addition
She’s your new addiction
She’ll try to keep you wishing
She’ll have a premonition
Maybe women’s intuition
“I don’t want to be your whore!”

Forget his reputation
Don’t need this degradation

I need a vacation
Will you fly me to Rome?
