Loudon Wainwright Iii Ingenue
Well, I'm out on the prowl, looking for an ingenue
Someone young and pretty that I can be a leading man to
And it may be a cliché, but it's also my fantasy
It's never been fulfilled, but it still holds water for me
Come on, darling, be my ingenue
You best be a good looker, stimulating to talk to
Come on, darling, fulfill my fantasy
I'm on a world wide search - won't you please be my discovery
She don't have to be an actress, but she needs that classic quality
A tigress or an heiress, a stewardess is fine with me
All she has to realize is that I'm gonna be her leading man
And I'll take Audrey over Catherine
'Cause Catherine can get a little out of hand
I'm not looking for one true love, just an occasional ingenue
I got them "leading man in search of this fantasy" fulfillment blues
And I'll keep prowlin' and a-searchin'
There ain't no way I'm gonna quit
There must be an ingenue out there
Ready and willing to submit to my every whim
Come on, darling, won't you be my ingenue?
You best be a good looker and a pretty good cooker and a hooker
And stimulating to talk to
Come on, darlin', fulfill my fantasy
Hey, I'm a world wide search - won't you please be my discovery
