Tell Tell

Oh bank teller teller
Do tell
Cast your spell
And call to your window this hurried feller

Don't pretend to count your change
When I'm in a rush to rush your elevated desk
Cause I gotta be places; where? don't ask
Maybe at home or out on the range

It's strange
All the other tellers are busy
Even the one I kinda dig, Lizzie
Working the drive-thru window looking out at the rain

So are you gonna call me or not?
Or will you leave me standing wondering
My precious weekend pondering
If I'll ever leave this spot

Oh, now you gotta go in the back
That's real nice
Abandon me twice
To go check for the fiftieth time the vault's stack

And not helping are the other customers
Wagging their chins
Like they're at a bar or somethin'
Doing their best to tie up the other tellers

What's the matter?
Never spoken to a teller before?
A teller tells, how interesting is that to explore?
So be on your way people, shoo, scatter

Cause I'm in a hurry
Got places to go
Like out the door
Grinning, counting my paltry booty

Simple trip to the bank
Took an hour plus some
Cause you were as slow as a hibernating possum
Next week, I'll be back

So speed it up
Crack the whip
Oops I tripped
On the movie premiere rope

Feel like a dope
Looked like one too
I may want to blame this on you
For me there's no hope

Yes! finally the call
The short walk to you and the exchange of pleasantries
My previous thoughts masked by the smile you see
Just got places to be, that's all

Thanks! And you have a great weekend! (wink)

Yeah what's up with that? Imagine a bank with five teller windows and only one is open!

yep - you tapped into a time warp
I usually start the conversation with the person behind me by saying, " you have entered the TWIGHLIGHT ZOME!"
