The Waitress lyrics

Artist  : Jane Siberry 
Song : The Waitress
 
I have to clear your table 
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 
so 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...  
 
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  
 
...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... aaagghhh...  
 
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  
 
... and I`d probably 
be famous now 
if I wasn`t 
such a good waitress...
