Isabel
A smile you won't forget, surrounds the cigarette
An friendly insult on her lips to keep you on your toes
And with her knowing grin, and probably a gin
She lets you know about the things she's done and where she's been
Isabel, with ashtrays on the floor
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Surprised the family at the age of 83
By saying "once there was man who came and painted me"
She knew she'd hooked us good
Then added "in the nude"
No point in living life without that kind of attitude
Isabel, you laughed till it was sore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Turns out she did conspire, to win her heart's desire
By means both fair and underhand, well it was love and war
It worked out in the end, just as she did intend
There's more to life than playing by rules you're not prepared to bend
Isabel, rules always were a chore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
"Take what you can, out of life", she said, "and put it right back in"
We said goodbye today and now she's gone away
But I will not forget the love of life she shared with me
And with that knowing grin, and probably a gin
Wherever she has gone had better watch out, she'll be jumping in!
Isabel, you always sought out more
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Isabel, you laughed till it was sore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Isabel, life never was a chore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
An friendly insult on her lips to keep you on your toes
And with her knowing grin, and probably a gin
She lets you know about the things she's done and where she's been
Isabel, with ashtrays on the floor
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Surprised the family at the age of 83
By saying "once there was man who came and painted me"
She knew she'd hooked us good
Then added "in the nude"
No point in living life without that kind of attitude
Isabel, you laughed till it was sore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Turns out she did conspire, to win her heart's desire
By means both fair and underhand, well it was love and war
It worked out in the end, just as she did intend
There's more to life than playing by rules you're not prepared to bend
Isabel, rules always were a chore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
"Take what you can, out of life", she said, "and put it right back in"
We said goodbye today and now she's gone away
But I will not forget the love of life she shared with me
And with that knowing grin, and probably a gin
Wherever she has gone had better watch out, she'll be jumping in!
Isabel, you always sought out more
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Isabel, you laughed till it was sore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
Isabel, life never was a chore
Isabel, loved stranger on the shore
