+ Close up on "Funky Pretty":
[Carl:] A Pisces lady loves romance (She loves romance)
Her movements tell you at a glance (She loves to dance)
Why they say Pisces rules the dance (She's got the glance)
She values flowers more than gold (She flows like gold)
Thinks of her men as knights of old (She's never bold)
She's very spiritual I'm told (She has never told)
Whoa
But [Alan:]where's my spark in the dark?
[Blondie:] Glow glow glow c'mon glow
[Ricky:] The funky pretty flame in my heart
[Mike:] Me and my Pisces lady are apart
[Carl:] Her calender is not like ours
The hieroglyphs mark changing hours
Her guiding light is from the stars
Whoa
A book of verse a jug of wine
She'll always tell what's on your mind
By just your birthday place and time
[Ricky:] 'Cause it's a silent night in the sea
[Alan:] And if you're cosmic'ly conscious you'll see
[Blondie] Why she's a princess incarnate to me
[Mike:] Daughter of Neptune the ruler of the sea
[Carl:] The queen in Copenhagee
The dream of Amsterdamee
The cream of gay Parisee
The theme of U Say Asee
The scene in Great Britainyee
The meaning in Los Angees
The heat in Tokyosee
The treat in Manhattohsee
Yeah yeah funky pretty
[Blondie:] She said "Don't worry it's alright
[Alan:] I'm coming back when the aspects are right"
[Ricky:] And now I look in the paper each day
[Mike:] Wonderin' what my horoscope will say
