I remember Evie Pooperon Named in jest after Eva Peron We were young and much in love Fit together like hand and glove I know the tragedy of Eva Peron I recall the love of Evie Pooperon I wonder often where she might be Wonder if she ever thinks of me Barely a day of my life goes by Without me lettin out a little sigh As I look back across the years A corner of my heart is moved to tears Not sure what game was going on When I started calling you Pooperon We were young and invincible Look and you'd think we had it all.
