Waiting for the Girls Upstairs

Hey up there

Way up there

Whaddaya say up there

I see it all

It's like a movie in my head that plays and plays

It isn't just the bad things I remember

It's the whole show

Waiting around for the girls upstairs

After the curtain came down

Money in my pocket to spend

'Honey could you maybe get a friend for my friend'

Hearing the sound of the girls above

Dressing to go on the town

Clicking heels on steel and cement

Picking up the giggles floating down through the vent

Godd**nedest hours that I ever spent

Were waking for the girls Upstairs

Hey up there

Way up there

Whaddaya say up there

That's where the keys hung and That's where you picked up your mail

I remember

Me and Ben Me and Ben

We'd come around at ten Me and Ben

And hang around the wings Watching things

With what-the-hell-was-his-name You know the old guy

Max I remember

Anyway there we'd stay Until the curtain fell

And when the curtain fell Then all hell broke

Girls on the run and scenery flying Doors slamming left and right

Girls in their undies blushing but trying Not to duck out of sight

Girls by the hundreds waving and crying 'See you tomorrow night'

Girls looking frazzled and girls looking great

Girls in a frenzy to get to a date

Girls like a madhouse and two of 'em late

And who had to wait

And wait

And wait

Waiting around for the boys downstairs

Stalling as long as we dare

Which dress from my wardrobe of two

One of them was borrowed and the other was blue

Holding our ground for the boys below

Fussing around with our hair

Giggling wiggling out of our tights

Chattering and clattering down all of those flights

God I'd forgotten there ever were nights

Of waiting for the boys Downstairs

You up there

Down in a minute

You two up there

Just keep your shirts on

Aren't you through up there

Heard you the first time

Look are you coming or aren't you coming 'cause

Coming we're coming will you hold your horses we're

Look if we're going we gotta get going 'cause

Coming we're ready be there in a jiffy

Look they won't hold us A table at ringside all night

All right

Hi Girls

Ben Sally

Boy we're beat

You look neat

We saw you in the wings

How are things

Did someone pass you in

Slipped a fin To what-the-hell-is-his-name You know the doorman

Al No

Big Fat

Young Bald

Harry Yeah

Okey-doaks Come on folks

And where we gonna go

A little joint I know What

Great new show there

Hey I thought you said tonight'd be Tony's

This joint is just as grand

We girls got dressed for dancing at Tony's

This joint is in demand

Ta-ta goodbye you'll find us at Tony's

Wait till you hear the band

You told us Tonys that we'd go to Tonys

I told you Tonys I never said Tonys

Then Ben mentioned Tonys

When's Ben mentioned Tonys

There's dancing at Tony's All right then we'll go

Waiting around for the girls upstairs

Weren't we chuckleheads then

Very young and very old hat

Everybody has to go through stages like that

Waiting around for the girls upstairs

Thank you but never again

Life was fun but oh so intense

Everything was possible and nothing made sense

Back there when one of the major events

Was waiting for the girls

Waiting for the girls

Waking for the girls

Upstairs
