Miss Butter's Lament
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
Nobody else seems to care
She waits patiently
With the knowledge that she
Will have so much to give to someone
Waiting around for the knock at the door
Gentleman callers, beware
Hopin' to see all the flowers and candy he's offered her
In every dream she's ever had
Mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
Knows she's about to be found
Before too long
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba, ba-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
And knows she's about to be found
Before too long
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it
Somebody delayed it
For her again
Like the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year
Nobody else seems to care
She waits patiently
With the knowledge that she
Will have so much to give to someone
Waiting around for the knock at the door
Gentleman callers, beware
Hopin' to see all the flowers and candy he's offered her
In every dream she's ever had
Mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
Knows she's about to be found
Before too long
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba, ba, ba-ba, ba, ba-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
And knows she's about to be found
Before too long
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it
Somebody delayed it
For her again
Like the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year
