1.Two Minutes Till Lunch

I was standing in line, i was biding my time
I was watchin' a clock on the wall
And it was two minutes till lunch, so i got good and ready
Just then i heard the telephone call

It was she, she told me not to worry
She told me 'take life a little more in stride
Remember the books i bought-cha, bought-cha'never really read
'em
Just don't rememeber much inside anymore

I was standing in line, i was biding my time
I was watchin' a clock on the wall
And it was two minutes till lunch, so i got good and ready
Just then i heard my foreman call
Don't-touch-that-you'll-blow-this-place-up!
