Check this out
I got a little story that's sure to please
It starts when I get on the bus around 3:00
Snacks in the left hand, tapes in the right
I thought I'd get us some treats for tonight
But lo and behold, I was quite dismayed
To find out the boss don't work today
I fell to my knees and I started to cry
How quick we forget, it's the fourth of July
Fourth of July
But don't you bet, 'cause we're not defeated yet
There'll always be another day for ???
Just wait till tomorrow and I'll bring home for you
The Jets, Tom Waits, and Seduction too
What up
???
You don't know how hard it is to rock when ???
Y'know what I mean, y'know what I'm saying, bro
Step up to the stand and show these people what time it is please
