this is for my daughter, ariel(presently age 6 1/2).
she's been bugging me to type out the lyrics to this song,
so i figured i might as well type out the chords as well & submit it!
a fun song that i first heard back in 1977 or '78.
(i named my kid for this song,
not the friggin' "little mermaid", dammit!!)
as always, any corrections,comments, suggestions, feedback, donations are welcome.

Ariel
- Dean Freidman
way on the other side of the hudson
deep in the bosom of suburbia
i met a young girl she sang mighty fine
"tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".
standing by the water fall in paramus park
she was working for the friends of B.A.I.
she was collecting quarters in a paper cup
she was looking for change (and so was i).
she was a jewish girl i fell in love with her
she wrote her number on the back of my hand
i called her up i was all out of breath i said
"come hear me play in a rock and roll band".
i took a shower and put on my best blue jeans
i picked her up in my new VW van
she wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
i said "hi" she said "yeah i guess i am."
a--riel (aaa...)a--riel ...
we had a little time we were real hungry
we went to dairy queen for something to eat
she had an onion ring she had a pickle
she forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat.
i had a gig in the american legion hall
it was a dance for the volunteer ambulance corps
she was sittin in a corner against the wall
she would smile and i melted all over the floor.
a--riel (aaa...)a--riel..
(sax solo)
i took her home with me (we) watchin' tv
annette funicello and some guy goin' steady
i started foolin' around with the vertical hold
we got the munchies and i made some spaghetti.
we sat and talked into the night
but channel two was signin' off the air
i found the softness of her mouth
we made love to bombs bursting in air...
a--riel (aaa...)a--riel...
a--riel (aaa...)a--riel...
way on the other side of the hudson
deep in the bosom of suburbia
i met a young girl she sang mighty fine
"tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".
"tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".
"tears on my pillow" and "ave maria".
