Coralville Reservoir

This was a true story about a real girl next door in Iowa. Her friends at college spent a lot of time trying to coerce her into skinny dipping at the Coralville Reservoir. She was every mother’s dream. Until one night she relented — lost the threads and got wet... Well, along comes Barney Fife and makes everyone get out and get dressed. Judy, unable to bear the embarrassment, starts to swim away. Officer Fife turns the spotlight on Judy while she’s forced to get out for all the world to see. I wasn’t there but I wanted to be.

I was thinking ‘bout Judy just the other day
See that girl walk by really puts me away
She’s got one of those bodies that just won’t quit
I’d do anything to get close to it...

She was always going out with a guy named Joe
He’d take her downtown to the picture show
afterwards they’d head out to Hwy 1
to the reservoir... where they really had fun

I wish I could be with Judy, I could be with Judy
I could be with Judy at the reservoir.
I could be with Judy, I could be with Judy
I could be with Judy at the reservoir

I met a girl at a party — her name was Mary Ann
She whispered in my ear and took me by the hand
Everything was goin’ fine till we stepped outside
And I saw that girl walking up the drive

And I saw Judy, I saw Judy,
I saw Judy... walking up the drive
And I saw Judy, I saw Judy,
I saw Judy...and I thought I’d die
Yea, I thought I’d drop dead

Years have come and gone, I’ve long since moved away
I still think about Judy but not every day
She’s in my memory but never very far
I wish I could be with Judy at the reservoir

I wish I could be with Judy, I could be with Judy
I could be with Judy... we could go so far
I wish I could be with Judy... I could be with Judy

I could be with Judy...
In the back of my car... I wish I could be with Judy
