Waiter Lyrics by Nellie McKay

Waiter Lyrics

    oh waiter bring me my check soon
    I have a hectic schedule
    I'm saddened by the news that we won
    I wonder what I'd say to the bomb

    where are you now
    where are you going
    do you mind
    and do you care
    that you will die
    do you despair
    and do you allow
    for what you are choking
    do you know
    just what you do
    the fickle snow
    it's cuz of you

    (chorus)
    waiter
    I need my change I need it now sooner not
    later
    it may seem strange but have you seen the paper
    maybe it's victory
    maybe it's history
    maybe it's you

    the scuds drop down like butterflies
    they're loved and round and very wise
    they're just like you and me
    as they tend
    their incandescent need for a friend

    where are they now
    where are they headed
    do they see
    the little ones
    and do they flee
    or do they run
    and do they feel proud
    as they are embedded
    do they ask
    or do they tell
    to mask the fact
    they're going to hell

    (chorus)
    waiter
    I need my change I need it now sooner not
    later
    it may seem strange but have you seen the paper
    maybe it's erotic
    maybe it's despotic
    maybe it's you

    waiter
    I need my change I need it now sooner not
    later
    it may seem strange but have you seen the paper
    maybe it's victory
    maybe it's history
    maybe it's you
    nothin could be finer than to be in Carolina in the mornin
