The Roches - Mr. Sellack lyrics

( Words & Music by Terre Roche )

O Mr Sellack

Can I have my job back?

I've run out of money again.

Last time I saw ya

I was singing Hallelujah

I'm so glad to be leavin' this restaurant.

Now the only thing I want

Is to have my old job back again.

I'll clean the tables;

I'll do the creams;

I'll get down on my knees and scrub

behind the steam table.

O Mr. Sellack

I didn't think I'd be back.

I worked here last year

Remember?

I came when Annie

Was going on vacation

And I stayed on almost till December.

Now the only thing I want

Is to have my old job back again.

I won't be nasty to customers no more.

When they send their burger back I'll tell them that

I'm sorry.

Waiting tables ain't that bad.

Since I've seen you last, I've waited

for some things that you would not believe

To come true.

Give me a broom and I'll sweep my way to heaven.

Give me a job;

You name it.

Let the other forty-million three-hundred and seven

People who want to get famous.

Now the only thing I want

Is to have that old job back again.

I'll clean the tables;

I'll do the creams;

I'll get down on my knees and scrub

behind the steam table.
