When C#mI saw you sitting Dthere
Getting Abollocked by your supervisor
But C#myou didn't seem to Dcare
And when Ait came time to check-out
You C#mstood beside my Dtill
I said "Aretail is the pits"
And then C#mI scanned your anxiety Dpills
[Chorus]:
AI'm gonna finish what I started
C#mI'm gonna go to the Dsupermarket
AStraightening my tie
Plucking up the might
C#mTo ask you out on DSaturday night
