this act at the bar
cat charming the new girl
letting her know
what a great guy he is
she is studying psychology
having told us before
picking up money here
for the rent n groceries
hoping for tips & drinks
while us watchers on
have a book open
on how long she lasts
with us low lifers
rough talk & behaviours
or she finds out the place
down the street pays more
maybe one of our own
smiles nice becomes mr. right
or just mr. right now
we like this one got smarts
memory on who drinks what
a smile like natural
& we’re waiting here
him to try his best pick up line
yeah I was in this tv show
& as he leans in to deliver
series 11 episode 7
we shout that out together
he glares at us but it’s too late
the horse has left the gate
we’d spoiled the race
