This one time, at band camp...

I was goofin' around with my fellas
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Tich.
We were back behind the
ramshackle wooden stage,
noodlin' and finger-pickin'
when the fair ginger flutist
strolled past, twirling her instrument
like a baton. Discretely checkin' us out,
I say. Now, none of us
had much luck with the ladies;
we became known as "The Lonely Hearts Club".
It could have been pity,
or a marriage of convenience,
spending a couple weeks with
the same people in tight quarters,
that led her to approach me.
To myself I admitted
she was adorable, but
why would she talk to me?
I mean, I'm not ugly or anything,
but I'm far from being
the best-lookin' guy on the campground.
She blew a few notes like
seductively eating a banana,
and I melted when she paused
to ask me if I wanted to
let the evening go. We
broke away from the group
and into the woods, singing along
to songs we'd practiced
and dancing made-up little jigs.
As we moved in for a smooch,
stupid ol' Billy Shears from
out of nowhere yelled
"Ewww! The flute chick is gonna
make out with that dirtbag! No way!"
When I turned to admonish him
she bolted away quick,
and began to avoid me ever since.
