I'll Take Two Please
Oh damn I forgot what the hell I was going to order
Standing here in this damn line waiting for my number to be called
Looked over to my left and spotted an old ex, gee he sure wasn't aging well
Turned my head quickly I was in no mood for trips back down memory lane
Tapping my foot impatience setting in
Can’t they get the order right the poor lady standing in front
Of me has order twice; oh yeah now I remember
It was a number four
Started humming a song in my head, when I felt the light touch
On my leg
You still got the prettiest legs in town
I swung around knocking his hand away to his side
If looks could kill he’d be six feet under
Who gave him the right to invade my space?
It’s been a long time baby glad to see you ain’t
Lost your touch
Fortunate for him I left my gun in the car
Ignoring him my attention refocused on the
Lady who was still arguing with the girl
At the counter, calling her dumb bi**es, and
How in the hell did she get this job
Come on, come on I’m saying to myself
What you buying me baby, he flunked English and was he crazy
Go away nuisance fly I swatted at the air
He leaned over and whispered in my ear,
“Get it to go and we can go back to your place and
Have a little show…..and tell, you show me the goodies and I’ll
Tell you how good they look .”
Did I have fooled tattooed across my forehead?
Next, please let her call next in line
That wasn’t going to happen any time soon
The manager came out the old lady in front
Just punch the girl in her chest
The girl was crying, the old lady was cussing up
A storm, all I wanted to do was order the number four
Why was there only one window open?
Its time like this I wish my damn micro- wave oven
Worked maybe this was a sign, I shouldn’t be standing
here in this line
My Ex was in full swing pouring on the bull sh**
The cops were called and hauled the old lady off
Still cussing out the poor girl who the manger sent home
Finally some action my turn had arrived
“May I help you?”
“Let me have a number four please”
I looked back at my ex what the hell, “I’ll take two please.”
