Let Me Call You Sweetheart -- I'm Your Waitress

Let Me Call You Sweetheart – I’m Your Waitress
By Larry Linville

The eating out market has shrunk
and restaurant income is less
so let me call you sweetheart
because today I’m your waitress.

I have observed you are obese
and you are missing all your hair
but the size of my tip depends
on the guy sitting in that chair.

It takes much talent it is true
and my actions and words are bolder
perhaps it will increase my tip
if I gently touch your shoulder.

My income’s important to me
if I’m to enjoy a good life
I hope my light flirting with you
doesn’t offend your dear wife.
