lyrics

I am going to work.
I am going to work.

I am armed to the teeth with my gut and my nerve
And I am ready.
Ready to serve.
The artillery is manned; the bowls counted out
And you begin to wonder what it’s really about

Then open the doors and march into the hall

The people are drinking, the women are dancing
The men are putting their keys in a jar.
And the fellow in the corner with eyes like winter
Says “You are what you wear.”
And he wears a wife beater.
Say!

Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon
Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon

I am going to work.
I am going to work.

Set and re-set. What’s it all for?
It’s a war.
So what are we fighting for?
We’re sticking our arms into a tub of denial
Because I keep telling myself that I do it for you.
I deserve this reproach and I admire your coldness
But when you brush my lips I get chills for awhile
Darling....

Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon
Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon

I am going to work.
I am going to work.

Black and white night, right?
It’s never easy when you’re lacking in tips
But we scrub until our fingers shrivel up like raisins
And hide behind the washer where we know we’re safe
Yet all the grandmas in the middle are spreading the rumors
That the kids are on drugs and dying in gutters. Say!

Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon
Oh.... Dutch bussing tables in the late afternoon
