The Lyrics
Stayin' in Line (at the DMV)
Well, you can tell by the way I shuffle my feet,
I'm a simple man who'd never cheat
The crowd is loud--the room's too warm,
Just ahead two sets of twins were born
But it's all right. It's OK.
You may give up and go away.
I'll sleep in place where I stand
A New York State form in my hand.
Whether you're a trucker or an SUV sucker,
you're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Feel our wills breakin' and everybody's shakin',
But we're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line.
I need new plates--my license renewed,
But if paperwork's wrong, they're gonna get rude.
I'm on Line Number One, but there're three Number Twos
One's my lucky number, so I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll wait right here another day.
Sleep in place where I stand
A New York State form in my hand.
Whether you're a trucker or an SUV sucker,
you're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Feel our wills breakin' and everybody's shakin',
But we're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Line's goin' nowhere. somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' in line.
Well, you can tell by the way I shuffle my feet,
I'm a simple man who'd never cheat
The crowd is loud--the room's too warm,
Just ahead two sets of twins were born
But it's all right. It's OK.
You may give up and go away.
I'll sleep in place where I stand
A New York State form in my hand.
Whether you're a trucker or an SUV sucker,
you're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Feel our wills breakin' and everybody's shakin',
But we're stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line, stayin' in line.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' in line.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' in line.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. [scat screaming]
Line's goin' nowhere. somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' in line.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. [scat screaming]
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' in line.
Line's goin' nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. [scat screaming]
Line's goin' nowhere. [fading] somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' in line.
