Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful? Lyrics by The Waitresses

The Best of The Waitresses

1982

Hi!
Nice to see ya
C'mon in, c'mon in
Sorry the place is a mess
Need an ashtray?
Drink some coffee, some coffee
I know you've been upset
What I mean is
Maybe part of your problem
Is simply, you were teased
I know what you'd like
But the good stuff promised
Is hard fought and not for free
Get tough, don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?
What's a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories
Go out jumpin'
With your dumplin', your dumplin'
Go wheelin' with your pet
Never worry
Even a bit, just a bit
If there're any good ones left
Use your credit
At the boybank, the boybank
If those you've bounced, you've broke
Spit the F-word
Like a shotgun, a shot gun
If they can't take a joke!
Get tough, don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?
What's a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories
Starting to see what I mean?
Nice things, nice things
Oh oh oh, so many nice things
As your biggest fan I want you to have them
Nice things, nice things
Oh oh oh, so many nice things
Don't mean nothing, if they're dumping
Things that sting on you!
Don't take that, honey!
Don't work your buns off
For a fool, for a fool
Who can barely tie his shoes
Don't answer phone calls
That old boyfriend, old boyfriend
Would love to see you lose
You don't need that!
When your girlfriend, your girlfriend
Falls for all these creeps
Can you tell her?
Take the cure, take the cure
Love is obsolete? Maybe!
Get tough, don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?
What's a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories
Starting to see what I mean?
Sure, stop by anytime
Will yesterday be better?
I think you'll do just fine!
