A Jonathan Richman inspired track.
lyrics
Everything is fine in
Massachusetts ’81
Jupmpin splashin all that stuff
everyone havin fun
but that ain’t me no that ain’t me
i’m stuck at the cafe royale
just because i got my eyes fixed
on that fried fish gal
well she was surprised on how much i got
lemme tell you it wasn’t swell
how much fried fish did i get i get
fine, I will tell
CHORUS
I GOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 10 FILETS OF HADDOCK
11, 12, 13 and 14 14 people staring right at me
wow oh oh wow oh oh wooh oh oh oh oh
*now this is four years later, same cafe, same gal, she is STILL there. Well here I go once again tryin to woo her with my large order. But that still don’t work. I’ll show ya*
Four years later this girl is still waitin
waitin for me to come
I muster all I got I finally got a shot
All I felt was numb
Knees, shakin, bones breakin
all of that but still,
couldn’t ask her out
So I gave my order for her to fill
CHORUS
I GOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 10 FILETS OF HADDOCK
11, 12, 13 and 14 14 people staring right at me
wow oh oh oh oh ohoh ooooooooh ooh
*Well, I guess things STILL didn’t work out! What a shame. But that good ol’ boston fried fish was still as good as I could remember. And that’s all that matters* WAAAAOOOOH
