Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (Waitress), 
I asked exactly what it was she did. 
Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides (Seasides), 
winter time she ran away and hid. 
Once she had a hollywood audition 
but the part was given to a kid. 

Yes,the part was given to a kid. 
Yes sir, you heard it right, 
hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight.

Well, I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer (Boxer), 
asked him what had been his greatest night. 
He looked into the corners of his memory (Memory), 
searching for a picture of the fight. 
But he said he always had a feeling 
that he lacked a little extra height 
(Could have used a little extra height). 

Yes mate, you heard right, 
he always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height.
