Go to the movies and you wait in line

Wait for a table just to sit down and dine

You wait on the waiter that is waiting on you

Man, this waiting dance just ain't never through

You do the wait

Everybody do the wait

You do the wait

Everybody do the wait, yeah

Wait on the mailman just to bring you that check

You wait on a phone call that'll be your big break

Wait in the bank line for some bilingual clerk

You wait out in the traffic with all the other jerks just doing the wait

Everybody do the wait

Yeah, yeah, you do the wait

Everybody do the wait, yeah

You know that some wait for money

And some wait for fame

Some wait but they don't know why

Some wait for Jesus to come back again

But everybody knows that until your number finally comes around

You're gonna have to wait

Yeah, yeah

Wait for a mate and you wait to conceive

And you wait for the children to just grow up and leave

And as your life's ended, on this you can't rely

If heaven's overcrowded, you'll have to wait to die

Do the wait

Everybody do the wait

Step by step, you do the wait

Everybody do the wait, yeah

You know that some wait for vengeance

And some wait for love

Some wait but they're not sure why

Some wait for Jesus to come back again

But everybody knows that until your number finally comes around

You're gonna have to wait

Everybody do the wait

You do the wait

Yeah, everybody do the wait

The line forms on the left

Can you hold, please?

Yeah, I'll be right with you, just a minute

Oh, I'm sorry, that flight's been delayed

Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery

I'm sorry, that check stand is temporarily closed

Now I promise you, I'll call you right back

Yes I will! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
