one or two

*tapping lacquered finger nails impatiently on the table*

300 nights I’ve been here a-pacin’,
I’ve got clothes, all shiny and new!
This whole year, my time’s been a-wastin',
someday this endless virus will be through.

On the news, they say there’s a serum,
soon I’ll have to take one or two.
Crowded clubs, where music’s a-playin’,
I bet I can get into one or two.

There are boys, out there just for kissin',
and someday, I’ll kiss one or two.
I’ll find out, just what I’ve been missin',
I’ll bet I won’t get home 'til one or two.

There are boys, of nineteen or twenty,
and they know, just what to do.
Shiny toys, just waitin’ for choosin’,
I find the idea amusing - it’s true.
