The Waitress

Waitress

Waitress

Waitress

I have to clear your table

So I wipe it, it's right to keep it clean

So I clean, yes, I clean

Do you clean? Yes, I clean it

I have to empty ash trays

I empty them, it's right to keep them clean

So I clean, yes, I clean

I'm the queen of the clean

And I'd probably be famous now

If I wasn't such a good waitress

Waitress, waitress, waitress, waitress, waitress

I am a drag at parties 'cuz it upsets me

To see so many empties

And I have to pick them up

Or I have to go home, home

But sometimes I have nightmares

And the ashtrays are filling up

And I can't find my section

And the bottles are flying through the air

Like crazy autumn leaves

And I can't find my section

I lost my section, I lost my section

I can't find it, somebody help me, please

I am in quicksand, I am in mud to my knees, help me

I have to clear your table

Excuse me, it's right to keep it clean

So I clean, yes, I clean

Do you clean? Yes, I clean it

I have to know the regulars

Well, I don't have to

But I like to know their names

And I know them even better, when they're nice to me, me

And I'd probably be famous now

If I wasn't such a good waitress

Waitress

Waitress

Waitress
