Mr. Sellack Lyrics - The Roches

( Words & Music by Terre Roche ) 

O Mr Sellack 

Can I have my job back? 

I've run out of money again. 

Last time I saw ya 

I was singing Hallelujah 

I'm so glad to be leavin' this restaurant. 

Now the only thing I want 

Is to have my old job back again. 

I'll clean the tables; 

I'll do the creams; 

I'll get down on my knees and scrub 

behind the steam table. 

O Mr. Sellack 

I didn't think I'd be back. 

I worked here last year 

Remember? 

I came when Annie 

Was going on vacation 

And I stayed on almost till December. 

Now the only thing I want 

Is to have my old job back again. 

I won't be nasty to customers no more. 

When they send their burger back I'll tell them that 

I'm sorry. 

Waiting tables ain't that bad. 

Since I've seen you last, I've waited 

for some things that you would not believe 

To come true. 

Give me a broom and I'll sweep my way to heaven. 

Give me a job; 

You name it. 

Let the other forty-million three-hundred and seven 

People who want to get famous. 

Now the only thing I want 

Is to have that old job back again. 

I'll clean the tables; 

I'll do the creams; 

I'll get down on my knees and scrub 

behind the steam table.
