Hey,
up there,
way up there,
what do you say up there?
♪
Waiting around for the girls upstairs
After the curtain came down
I had plenty in my pocket to spend Honey,
could you maybe get a friend for my friend?
Hearing the sounds of the girls above Dressing to go on the towel
Clicking heels on steel and cement
Picking up the giggles floating down through
the vent
Goddamnedest hours that I ever spent
Waiting for the girls upstairs
Hey,
up there,
way up there,
what do you say up there?
That's where the keys hung and that's where you picked up your mail
I remember
me and Ben,
me and Ben We'd come around at ten,
me and Ben
And hang around the wings,
watching things With what the hell was his name?
You know the old guy,
Max, I remember Anyway,
there we'd stay until the curtain fell
And when the curtain fell Then all hell broke
Girls on the run and scenery flying Door slamming left and right
Girls in their undies blushing and trying Not to duck out of sight
Girls by the hundreds waiting,
crying See you tomorrow night
Girls looking frazzled and girls looking
great Girls in a frenzy to get to a date
Girls like a madhouse and two of them late And who had to wait?
And wait
And wait
And waiting around for the girls
upstairs Weren't we chuckleheads then?
Very young and very old hat
Everybody has to go through stages like that
Waiting around for the girls upstairs Thank you,
but never again
Life was fun but oh so intense Everything
was possible and nothing made sense
Back there when one of the major events Was waiting for the,
waiting for the,
waiting
for the, waiting for the, waiting for the girls
