THE WAITRESSES…
“Smartest Person I Know”
consider this…
the smartest person I know
was worried that they don’t fit in
when everyone’s running this way
they’re always running that way.
the smartest person I know
was worried about their career
their work was once important
now it’s empty and redundant
and when they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel…
I told the smartest person I know
“big wheels turn real slow
when you finally get a bone to throw
there’s no dog around to catch it.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
you’re awkward because you’re normal
you’re worthlessly over-qualified
and hopelessly hopeful.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right,
you’re the smartest person I know,
that’s why you feel like fifth wheel…”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
isn’t that most inspiring?
really such a comfort
useful and encouraging.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
and the smartest person you know
also probably feel like a fifth wheel…”
the smartest person I know
was worried about their lover
“we were both going this way
now we’re both going that way.”
the smartest person I know
asked if anybody else was sick of living
with the end just around the corner
under the boom that never comes.
and again they mentioned something ‘bout a fifth wheel…
“the trouble with you is you’re right
you’ve got values so you’re immoral
you struggle ‘cause you work too hard
not cool ‘cause you’re too real.”
“the trouble with you is you’re right
like this other person I know who says
I’M the smartest person they know
and be glad that I feel like a fifth wheel…”

“the trouble with you is you’re right
you’ve got values so you’re immoral
you struggle ‘cause you work too hard
not cool ‘cause you’re too real.”
I like that.
I need morals.
The smartest person I know will get me my appetizer within, like, five minutes, because I’m hungry as shit and ready to tip.
Yeah, but I know all about being the fifth wheel.
Since that job seems to be filled can I be the dumbest person you know?
I hated Waitressing!
But I love being served-especially Deep Fried Black Olives with Pesto Aioli!!!!!!!
(((((((BIG FAT HUGS TO YOU!))))))

OLiVE
did you write this?
oh, no no no…it’s a song by an 80′s band…late 70′s even, the waitresses. I LOVED them. they sang this song, “I know what boys like, I know what guys want…”
had to return to xanga and be entertained, ciao!
O-o-o-o-h yeaaaaahhh.
(How come this only showed up on my subscription list thingie today?? Trouble in Xanga City, I guess.)
Satori, you need your own 80′s pop band. It’d be great, you could have a casio keyboard on a shoulder strap, rollerskates and bubble skirts. I know I’d buy a copy of the album, or at the very least steal it from Kazaa!
