Tip That Waitress - Live
She's been on her feet nearly half the damned night Bringing your beverage and your late night bite She remains cheerful, when you're nasty and tight Makes change for a 50 in dim candle light Ignoring the groping hoping you might Come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight Tip that waitress
She's getting her masters, supporting her mom Amidst the confusion she remains cool and calm She knows exits in case of a fire or bomb She knows all the words to the 23rd Psalm She handles her tray with pnash and aplomb Her brother's a Quaker, her dad was in Nam Tip that waitress
Tip that waitress, she's been waiting on you Skip the small change slap down a dollar or two Her arches are aching her lower back shot Her varicose veins hurt like hell when it's hot Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Her uniform' too tight, tasteful it's not She knows the specials, and they are not a lot The cook is on qualudes the busboy deals pot If she had a real job she'd quit on the spot So tip that waitress
This plea for gratuity's gone on way too long there's a time and a place where them things belong The stage and a soapbox, this is only a song To dwell on the matter much longer would be wrong And people get by, she'll get along But I think she gets off when I come on strong So tip that waitress
Tip that waitress, she's been waiting on you Skip the small change slap down a five or a two
(Repeat verse 1)
