Ben Folds
Im trolling food court for girls
Yeah, its the best job in the world
They know theyre safe with me
They love my little mustache
They love a man in uniform
Oh
With my sunglass they cant
See what Im really looking at
And as theyre walking by
I whisper through my doughnut
Hey baby, baby light that ass on fire
How long must this day go on?
I got to stand here two more hours till I
Punch the clock
How long must this day go on?
No kid, they dont give me a gun
I dont get paid enough to run
So you can call me what you want
Ill be hanging at the check out
Checking out your girlfriend
Figure out how shes going to fit all of that
Butt into that underwear - yeah
Yeah
Hey girl if you cant recall
Where you parked your daddys car
Then I could help you out
All alone in this
great big mall
Oh
How long must this day go on?
I got to stand here two more hours
Till its Miller Time
How long must this day go on?
Whoa oh oh, oh oh
Im trolling food court for girls
I whisper through my doughnut
I whisper through my doughnut
I whisper through my doughnut
Hey baby baby, hey baby baby baby
Light that
Light that ass on fire
Alright, thats good
