Tip That Waitress
Loudon Wainwright III
Capo 2
She s been on her feet nearly half the damn night
Bringing you beverage and your late night bite
She remains cheerful when you re nasty and tight
Makes change for a fifty in dim candlelight.
Ignoring your groping hoping you might
Come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight.
Tip that waitress.
Shes getting her masters supporting her mom
Amidst the confusion she remains cool and calm
She knows exits in case of a fire or bomb
She knows all the words to the 23rd psalm
She handles her tray with panache and aplomb
Her brothers a Quaker, her dad was in Naa-aaa-aaa-aam
Tip that waitress.
Bridge 1
Tip that waitress,
She s been waiting on you.
Skip the small change,
Slap down a dollar or two.
Her arches are aching, her lower backs shot
Her varicose vein hurts like hell when its hot
Her uniform s too tight, tasteful its not
She knows the specials and they are not a lot.
The cook is on Qualudes the bus boy deals pot
If she had a real job she d quit on the spot
So tip that waitress.
This plea for gratuity s gone on way too long,
Theres a time and a place where them things belong
The stage ain t a soap box, this is only a song,
To dwell on the matter much more would be wrong.
And people get by, she ll get along
But I think she gets off when I come on
Stro--ooo-ooo- ong
So tip that waitress.
Bridge 2
Tip that waitress,
She s been waiting on you.
Skip the small change,
Slap down a fiver or two.
She s been on her feet nearly half the damn night
Bringing you beverage and your late night bite
She remains cheerful when you re nasty and tight
Makes change for a fifty in dim candlelight.
Ignoring your groping hoping you might
Come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight.
Tip that waitress.
