(To the tune of “Why Don’t You Do Right“)

You had plenty moxie, 1988;
You vamped little Eddie till he saved your mate:

You used to dress right,
Like a real hot date.
Get back in here, your fans cannot relate.

You rock that trenchcoat, I concede you do,
But, bunny, we hoped to see some more of you:

We thought you’d dress right,
Like a real hot date.
Get back in here, just let that Falcon wait.

We know there’s more to you than sex appeal,
But, doll, no gumshoe has a six-inch heel:

Let’s see you dress right,
Like a real hot date.
Get back in here, that pink couture looked great.

Why don’t you dress right,
Like a real hot date?
