Lyrics
I want the waiter with the water
I want the waiter with the water for my daughter
I want the waiter with the water for my daughter
'Cause my daughter has an order for some water on the tray
He's got a menu that he'll send you
He's got a menu that he'll send you and befriend you
He's got a menu that he'll send you and befriend you
Maybe lend you if you help me find the waiter with the tray
While my daughter was having lunch one day
She caught the waiter's eye
He took one look at her, then ran away
Now she's gonna die of thirst unless I find that guy
I want the waiter with the water
I want the waiter with the water for my daughter
Don't want the butcher or the baker or the candlestick maker
Want the waiter with the water on the tray
I'm the waiter
Find the waiter
Hold on waiter
Hold on waiter
She wants the waiter with the water
She wants the waiter with the water for her daughter
Don't want the butcher or the baker or the candlestick maker
Want the waiter with the water on the tray
