[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C G C
And so I run my tongue across the gap
C G C
In my bottom two front teeth the morning
C G C
I try to get my album back
C G C
The one I lost so long ago
Am G C
And though the crew was briefed and prepped
C G C
Nervousness ran through our bodies
C G C
The shade parade had stopped its step
C G C
I pushed down the first domino
G
Ear pieces in place, DJ on stage
G Am
Curated a mix that she aired over radio waves
Am
Every turntable play in turn would dictate every move that we made
F
And the first that was made, register teen
F
Greatness Waitress there on the scene
C
The band played a deafening Waitsgiving theme
G
Just a distraction for the real action
F C G
DJ swap the record out, trigger the next phase
F G C
Of "Operation Last Waitsgiving Day"
[Verse 2]
C G C
The limousine lurched into place
C G C
Followed by a flatbed trailer
C G C
Piggy Sue and Candy Crane
C G C
Together formed a brand new float
Am G C
The smoker and digger of graves
C G C
Beautifully they weld together
C G C
A pig with several scorpion traits
C G C
Whose stomach started belching smoke
G
Father and son reunited as one
G Am
Piled the fire until the wood pile was gone
Am
Smoke billowed out to the lawn, hiding the digger from all lookers on
F
Grandson looking on: Snocone Creator
F
Stationed to lookout for oncoming danger
C
Instead inspired to make a new flavor
G F
When danger approaches no one is noticing
C G
Out to the early end of all at stake
F G C
Halalala Last Waitsgiving Day
[Instrumental]
| G | G | G | G |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| F | F | F | F |
| C | C | G | G |
[Verse 3]
G G
And then out of the limo, the Geriatric Pyro
Am Am
Leapt on to the smokers' float whose smoke was slowly dissipating
F F
Oh, I must confess it was I who made the mess
C
I burned your building down that night
G
But I'm here today to make it right
[Bridge]
F
His cymbal lit with flames
Fm
Which brought more eyes that way
C
So the delivery driver raced
G
She grabs the mic from off the stage
F
And she cues the Greatness Waitress band
Fm
"Play our new grapefruit spoon jam
C
I'll teach the audience to dance"
G
And the diary she once dictated
G
Now a mass coordinated
G G
Dance that somewhat went this way
[Verse 4]
C G C
Up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down up down dig in the dig in the
Am G C
Up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down dig in the ground
C G C
Up down up down dig in the dig in the
G
Ground at my feet the hole now complete
G Am
I pulled back the time capsule box and I turn to the street
Am
Before I can make my retreat, a voice in the air, it calls out to me
F
I look up to see the Grand Marshall say
F
She'd like for us all to give her dad thanks
C
It's my daughter, she wants me to come up on stage
G
Box in my hand as the audience chants
F C G
I give my girl a hug, tears rolls down my face
F C G
I hand over the album, and I say "Happy birthday"
F C G
She hands it to the DJ, and the DJ presses play
F G Am
On the soundtrack to the Last Waitsgiving Day
F G Am
And in the box, a letter dedicates
F G F C
"This one is for those of us who wait"
