Third time's the charm, I thought to myself, as I shuffled into Dodge one autumn evening, still looking for my best gal Chantilly Lace. I walked into the bar, and how was I to know there was a party going on?
"No milk today," repeated the bartender, as soon as he saw me come in.
"Well, I don't want to spoil the party," I replied. "Pour me a shot o' Love on the Rocks."
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to," Miss Kitty said. She took hold of my arm. "Say, you got some lipstick on your collar." She dabbed a hanky at my neck.
"Yes, ma'am, it sure is, from kissin' and a huggin' with Hayden Panettiere," I said.
"Your nose is going to grow, Pinocchio," said Miss Kitty. "That's a blood stain, you got it from shavin' this morning, dinchoo."
"The shaving razor's cold and it stings," I shrugged.
Her eyes moved about the noisy, smoky room. Why, there was Miss Sunshine, dancing with US Marshall Matt Dillon. Even Judy was dancing, with her favorite guy Johnny Angel. I always thought Johnny looked like a caveman, but I guess Judy must have liked them, um, rugged.
"Still looking out for Chantilly?" asked Miss Kitty.
"Yep," I said. "She's my girl, I will follow her, follow here wherever she may go, ain't no mountain high enough to keep me away."
"Poor wandering one," she said.
"That's me, they call me the wanderer." I looked at the clock. "They also call me the sixty minute man, and I've been here long enough to see Chantilly, well, she's not there. I'd best be moseyin', if'n you don't mind, ma'am, but I gotta run."
I jumped through the window (I've had a lot of practice doing that lately, still avoiding Bad Man Jose), saddled up, and before too long, I'll find myself in another town that I'll go walking through, with the rain in my shoes. Some of these days, it just don't pay to get up in the mornin'. Ask me again tomorrow, maybe Chantilly and me'll be together, and love will keep us together.

Sunshine, I don't want to spoil the party but some of these days when Matt Dillon has moved on because you found someone's lipstick on your collar (and by your I mean his) and you find your love on the rocks I'll be your Johnny Angel and pick you back up. But I know that if I ask you if you're over Matt and you say yes that your nose is going to grow.

Hey, Johnny Angel, I don't want to spoil the party but your nose is going to grow. What are you going to say this time about lipstick on your collar. Some of these days are easier than others especially with your love on the rocks, again.

It was 3 A.M. and that no good, scoundrel of a boyfriend of mine was STILL not home !!!! I was pacing the living room floor, back and forth, , fit to be tied. The longer I waited the more frantic I became. I had started drinking tequila shots about an hour ago and instead of mellowing me out they had had the opposite effect! Boy was I fuming!!!
I remembered hearing something in town about the Thompson twins having a big party planned for tonight. I had not been invited but I was sure that the two hussies had invited Johnny! I decided I could wait no longer! It was time to pay the twin heiffers an unannounced visit!
I arrived at their door at 3:30 A.M. and the party was still going strong! The door was open and I could hear raucous laughter and other God-awful noises coming from upstairs.
I spotted Tessie Thompson immediately. She was shaking her bony butt, without regard to the music and I wondered "what is SHE hearing that I don't". When she saw me she made a face. God forgive me, but in addition to being the worst dancer I had ever seen, the woman was BUTT ugly!!! I smiled sweetly. "I don't want to spoil the party, but can you tell me if Johnny Angel is here" I asked. For a long moment she seemed at a loss for words. "WELL" I asked again. Her long pause told me all I needed to know!! I KNEW he was there! "Nevermind" I said walking toward the stairs. "If you lie, your long pointy nose is going to grow EVEN bigger" I snapped, as I marched up the stairs.
I took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
There he was!! Sprawled across the bed!! The second door to the bedroom had just closed and I suspected someone had made a hasty departure.
"Hi Johnny" I said. He feigned a groggy awakening.
"Hey Silva darlin', whatcha doing here?" he asked.
I smiled. "Why I just came to see YOU, darlin" I stated in a tone that was sweet but deadly.
He looked somewhat green. "Is that lipstick on your collar ?" I asked. I recognized the cheap cherry red lipstick that Tina Thompson always wore on her thin lips. He looked down dumbly at his collar. "Ah, I think it might be ketchup, I was..."
I didn't stay to hear the rest of his lies!!!
As I walked back to MY apartment I thought of the lyrics of Neil Diamond's song "Love on the rocks, aint no big surprise, pour me a drink , and I'll tell you some lies...."
Well, some of these days you see things how they really are, and today was one of those days. When I arrived home I started "helping" Johnny move his things outside!!!!!
"Good riddance Johnny Angel, Hello closet space!!!!!!!!"

Frankie was getting herself ready for her senior prom. When the doorbell rang, she knew it was her Johnny Angel. "Mom!", she shouted, "Tell Johnny I'll be down in a couple minutes!" She put the finishing touches on her makeup, then went downstairs. Johnny caught sight of her & exclaimed, "My dear, you look absolutely stunning!" Frankie replied, "Thank you. You're very handsome in a tuxedo". Mom snapped a few pictures, then they left for the prom.
Frankie & Johnny spent about the first hour there on the dance floor. Then, Johnny said, "I don't want to spoil the party, but I need a break". Johnny excused himself to visit the restroom. When he returned, Frankie gave him a look that nearly nailed him to the wall. She pointed & demanded to know, "What's that lipstick on your collar?!" Johnny was speechless. She went on, "Go ahead, explain! But, remember, if you lie, the boogie man will get you & your nose is gonna grow!" He stammered, "B-b-but baby, it's just dipping sauce from the chicken tenders". But Frankie wasn't buying it. "It's that bleach-blonde bimbo, Cindy, isn't it?", she asked. Cindy was the head cheerleader & her chief rival for Johnny's attention. "Just wait! I'll fix her some of these days!", she said. Then to Johnny, she said, "As for you, you two-timing so & so...", but she never finished her sentence. Instead, she stormed out the front door. Johnny followed, pleading, "C'mon, it was just one little kiss. Please stay with me! Besides, how will you get home?" "I'll walk!", she replied. And she did. Too ashamed to show his face anymore, Johnny left soon afterwards. As he was leaving, he heard one of the chaperones say, "Love on the rocks. Ain't no big surprise".

It was once Heaven on a Sunday, and I had the highest down, the picnic packed, and was once heading for the Heart of the Country. Soon I might opt for up little Liza Jane at her condominium. I rather dug this chick and I was once capable for No More Lonely Nights. Today after a champagne lunch, I was once going to "pop the query". With a Little Luck she might say "Yes, Yes, Yes"! I would handiest wish that she might not ever discover out approximately The Other Me. If she ever did, the Spirits of Ancient Egypt might have my asp in a sling. I was once concerned that my adjust ego might be learned by means of the lady I adored. High Priest of the Goddess Ankor Awa was once now not a role that I would percentage with any individual. My horoscope had indicated that Venus and Mars are Alright Tonight, so I needed to wish that the opposite planets had now not altered considering Yesterday. If they'd shifted , I would wish To Live and Let Die. "She's valued at it," I notion to myself as I pulled within the driveway and laid at the horn.

Johnny Angel slipped through the door, his shoes in his hands and scotch on his breath. It was 2:00 a.m., and his wife Cynthia would be MAD if she woke up. They'd been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a year, so if he could just make it to his bedroom without waking her, he could tell her some lie in the morning and he'd be okay.
Johnny stumbled on shoes that had been left in foyer and fell flat on his face. Of course, Cynthia was towering above him in a second. "I don't want to spoil the party," she sneered, "but there seems to be lipstick on your collar. Care to explain how that happened?"
"Well," Johnny started, " there was this woman who I walked to her car to be sure she would be safe. . . "
"I've heard it before." Cynthia interrupted. "Your nose is going to grow if you don't quit telling me those stories. Some of these days, you're going to stumble in early in the morning with your lies, and I'm going to throw you out."
Johnny staggered on to bed. As he drifted off to sleep, he weighed his options. Was it worth living with love on the rocks, and having to deal with Cynthia's venom, or would he be better off on his own?
