Eau de Me

I had some cologne when I was in college—
Smelled like a million dollar bill
All wrapped up in an old leather wallet
Of a man who was dressed to kill.
I only wore it on special occasions,
Like presenting a paper,
Or the first day of class,
Or for a second date
With that one I'd been chasin
Who'd finally noticed and asked.

I bought it at Malouf's,
And it lasted a decade,
And always caused quite a roundelay.
I think they quit making it.
I can't remember its name,
But I sure wish I had some, today.
