Am
bringing you beverage and your late night bite
F
she remains cheerful when you’re nasty and tight
G
makes change for a fifty in dim candlelight .
C
ignoring your groping hoping you might
Am F G
come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight .

tip that waitress .

shes getting her masters supporting her mom
amidst the confusion she remains cool and calm
she knows exits in case of a fire or bomb
she knows all the words to the 23rd psalm
she handles her tray with panache and aplomb
her brothers a quaker , her dad was in naa – aaa – aaa – aam

Em
tip that waitress ,
C
she’s been waiting on you .
Em
skip the small change ,
G
slap down a dollar or two .

her arches are aching , her lower backs shot
her varicose vein hurts like hell when its hot
her uniform’s too tight , tasteful its not
she knows the specials and they are not a lot .
the cook is on qualudes the bus boy deals pot
if she had a real job she’d quit on the spot
so tip that waitress .

this plea for gratuity’s gone on way too long ,
theres a time and a place where them things belong
the stage ain’t a soap box , this is only a song ,
to dwell on the matter much more would be wrong .
and people get by , she’ll get along
but i think she gets off when i come on
stro – – ooo – ooo – ong
so tip that waitress .
