Lyrics
Something about a waitress that makes me hungry as a horse
This may sound silly but my knees turn to jelly and my blood to tabasco sauce
The way she pulls that pencil from behind her ear
When she asks me, ?What?ll it be??
And when she leans way over to replace the cream
And her elbow touches me
Something about a waitress
You can see in every stain on her dress
There?s nothing finer than to hang around a diner
?Cause the rest of the world?s a mess
Something about a nurse that makes me glad to be unfit
I donate blood because it feels so good to hear her say, ?This won?t hurt a bit.?
She?s an angel of mercy by my bedside
White stockings and her little hat
If they operate, she?ll have to give me a shave
I wonder what she?ll think about that
Something about a nurse
So when I?m sick I?m never depressed
Because it?s va-va-voom in the emergency room
And the rest of the world?s a mess
There something special ?bout a secretary
With her red-tipped fingers on the dictaphone
And there?s nothing sweeter than a meter maid
In her uniform in the tow-away zone
And I kinda go for them go-go girls
So practiced at the art of striptease
I even dig the telephone directory gal
When she says, ?What city, please??
Something about a stewardess, I like to fly as you might surmise
While others drive it, man, it?s much more private when you fly those friendly skies
She gives me coffee, tea, and alcohol
She gives me tips on how to survive
She?s a nurse and a waitress all rolled in one
And she rolls into my arms when the plane takes a dive
Something about a stewardess
With that name tag on her chest
I?m a do-or-dier and a frequent flier
?Cause the rest of the world?s a mess
The rest of the world?s a mess
The rest of the world?s a mess
The rest of the world?s a mess
Something about a waitress
