Lyrics

[00:08.06] Waiter, oh, waiter, please come to my rescue
[00:21.27] I cannot understand a word that's written on this menu
[00:26.72] Not that I'm unaccustomed to this kind of smart cuisine
[00:32.46] But what you've handed me is in a language I've never seen.
[00:37.73] And the way my companion here keeps gazing over at me
[00:43.40] Makes me feel like I'm drifting further and further out to sea
[00:48.91] Everything looks so frightening
[00:51.52] Everything here looks so nice.
[00:57.39] Oh, waiter, please waiter!
[01:02.97] I really need your advice.
[01:08.72] Waiter, oh, waiter, I feel so embarrassed
[01:14.07] If this is really French it's not the kind they use in Paris
[01:19.73] What is this crab and lobster foam, what's in this cassoulet?
[01:25.04] And my companion's so at home, so terribly au fait.
[01:30.54] I need some words of wisdom I need you to take my side
[01:36.25] For very soon I know will come the moment to decide
[01:41.55] Won't you help me through this menu
[01:44.21] Won't you please just catch my eye
[01:50.35] So waiter,oh, waiter!
[01:55.31] Please help me out tonight.
[02:01.02] Underneath that stiff tuxedo you must be human,too
[02:06.65] You'll have had your days of heartache
[02:09.47] And days when your dreams came true
[02:14.95] So, waiter oh, waiter! Please help me out tonight.
[03:19.39] Waiter, oh, waiter please come to my rescue
[03:24.51] Oh let this be the sort of thing your service can extend to.
[03:30.15] Not that I'm unaccustomed to this kind of smart cuisine
[03:35.46] But this menu is as baffling as anything I've ever seen.
[03:40.92] And the way he looks across at me with his sardonic gaze
[03:46.59] Makes me feel I'm drifting further out into the choppy waves
[03:52.08] Everything looks so frightening, everything here looks so nice.
[04:00.64] Oh, waiter, please waiter!
[04:06.24] I really need your advice
[04:12.10] Underneath that stiff tuxedo you must be human too
[04:17.24] You'll have had your days of heartbreak
[04:20.12] And days when your dreams came true
