Lyrics

Jo the waiter spilling wine
Over some ex-friends of mine
In zero cafe number nine
What you gonna say this time?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
New ones walking down the stairs
Pretty young thing but no-one cares
Jo the waiter drops the tray
Do you always know your name?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
Jo the waiter smiled at me
Jo the waiter's company
I keep him in a book by my fireside
A drama is my perfect bride
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
