Answer 2

Rupert Holmes - Our National Pastime

I met her at a baseball game
that got held up by August rain
beneath the mezzanine
I huddled up against her hand

By then the rain had left the ground
and Seaver threw a few on the mound
We stood to face the flag
that flew above the Navy band

Then the anthem begin to bless
the stadium it right through the old thin air
and I knew this was the time
to make my pitch

Won't you come home with me
have a room you should see
with a warm waterbed
and a pillow for your head

I've a robe you could wear
and a smoke we could share
You are blonde, I am tall
and I think that says it all

A quick glass of wine
then I'll feed you a line
Nilsson will sing
and you won't feel a thing

Oh say you will stay with me
Love, must I say I love you

Well, how ya like my pad?
oh it's great
I mean, I love purple

I, I bet you're an Aquarius aren't you
No, actually I'm a Leo
I knew you were one of those

You know, Leos are very big on women's lib
I don't uh believe in women's lib
yes, I didn't think you did
I'm just tryin to hi-five ya

Aw, that's pretty
Oh, what kind of wine is this
uh that, that's uh that's red wine
red, that's my favorite kind

Are you having a terrific time?
oh yeah, I'm having a very terrific time

Oh stay for a lifetime
at least wait until the late show

So you didn't tell me your name
My name is Karen
That was my mother's name

Answer 3

Perhaps it's...

Mary, Mary, plain as any name can be.
But with propriety society would say Marie.

(forgotten middle bits, where I think the words you mention are)

But it was Mary, Mary, long before the fashions came.
And there is something there that sounds so square,
It's a grand old name.
