I see 'em trying but they're never going to beat me to the punch bowl.

They'll never beat me to the punch.

No denying, I see we all are eyeing the old punch bowl.

They'll never beat me to the punch.

They're telling jokes around the punch bowl,

Laughing Iike the end of time,

Making light of my poor love life.

Wait til They hear the punchline!

They are teasing you around the punch bowl,

Asking if you'll change your name to mine.

"Mr. Jennifer has a lovely ring to it!"

I can't wait till they hear the punchline!

Come and meet me at the punch bowl.

I see your reflection there in mine.

If "you could love me" is the joke that they are telling at the punch bowl,

"I could love you, too" is the punchline.

I see 'em trying but they're never going to beat me to the punch bowl.

They'll never beat me to the punch.

No denying, I see we all are eyeing the old punch bowl.

They'll never beat me to the punch.
