lyrics

Bethany from work is getting on my nerves again
Why do people do what they do?
She’s given me a list of things that need to be done
Printed out, that list is eight-foot-two
And she expects me to be finished by the fourth of July
I can only predict my hair will gray
I gladly took this job but I don’t know why
I ask myself every day

No, I don’t have time to go home
Only to the post office down the street
My fleeting life is monochrome
I gotta have a little bite to eat

It’s the age of swift communication
Everyone’s looking to save some time
Don’t bother with a whole damn pie
Just send me a single slice
Stuff it right in my P.O. box
I’ll be there by Sunday night
I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds)
I just want a little cheesy delight

Working at Wall Street surely has its perks
I’ve always got oodles of cash
But I’m constantly surrounded by vainglorious jerks
If I could, I would quit in a flash
I haven’t seen my wife and son in ten days or more
Why must this be my fatal flaw?
No matter where I am, it’s just chore after chore
I need a piece of thick crust 'za!

It’s the age of swift communication
Everyone’s looking to save some time
Don’t bother with a whole damn pie
Just send me a single slice
Stuff it right in my P.O. box
I’ll be there by Sunday night
I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds)
I just want a little cheesy delight

I’ll take olives, and bacon,
and throw some feta cheese on that pie
But if the slice doesn’t fit in my P.O. box,
I might just start to cry
Email pizzas don’t taste as good,
I gotta have some physical kale
I dream all day of the singular slice
That I need you to mail

No, I don’t have time to go home
Only to the post office down the street
My fleeting life is monochrome
I gotta have a little bite to eat

It’s the age of swift communication
Everyone’s looking to save some time
Don’t bother with a whole damn pie
Just send me a single slice
Stuff it right in my P.O. box
I’ll be there by Sunday night
I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds)
I just want a little cheesy delight
