She works
At the popcorn stand
At the mall
And she serves
All the people the larges
Even though they could do with a small
And she tries
To ignore the security guard
Who gives her such a strange look
And she sighs
As she buries her nose
In the pages of some smart book
Some smart book
Jeanette is working
At the popcorn stand at the mall
And she's unhappy
But then again, aren't we all?
She doodles the name of the guy
Who works at the store
Cross the way
They talk a lot
But there's even more
That she has yet to say
She curses and says
"What am I
Back in junior high school again?"
But she hopes
That he doodles her name too
And remembers there's only one N
Just one N in
Jeanette is working
At the popcorn stand at the mall
And she's unhappy
But then again, aren't we all?
Aren't we all
Just living day to day?
(Living day to day)
Wasting too much time
(Wasting too much time)
For far too little pay?
Too little pay
Too little pay
Jeanette is working
At the popcorn stand at the mall
And she's unhappy
But then again, aren't we all?
Aren't we all?
Aren't we all?
She's making plans
And she knows soon
That she's gonna leave
They all laugh
'Cause she's been working here so long
That that's pretty damn hard to conceive
And she knows
She's gonna find a new job
And maybe soon, she'll even move away
So when that guard
Comes snooping around
They're all gonna have to say
They'll have to say
Jeanette, she's not working
At the popcorn stand at the mall
And she's no longer unhappy
Unlike the rest of us all
