Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (Waitress),
I asked exactly what it was she did.
Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides (Seasides),
winter time she ran away and hid.
Once she had a hollywood audition
but the part was given to a kid.
Yes,the part was given to a kid.
Yes sir, you heard it right,
hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight.

Well, I bumped into a man who’d been a boxer (Boxer),
asked him what had been his greatest night.
He looked into the corners of his memory (Memory),
searching for a picture of the fight.
But he said he always had a feeling
that he lacked a little extra height
(Could have used a little extra height).
Yes mate, you heard right,
he always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height.
