While you were outside having a smoke
some guy walked in the back way
gave everybody a $100 bill
bought a round of drinks and after he paid
he slipped out again by the back door
I tell ya, this ain't no joke
you missed a free drink and $100
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
you wouldn't believe what went down
a Playboy playmate and her lesbian lover
got out on the dance floor with each other
and everybody stared as Chrissie and Cheryl
got down to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
for the whole song nobody spoke
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
they had a two-for-one special on gin that was sloe
passed out free meatballs and glasses of beer
some guy hit a home run, everybody cheered
the guitar player tuned for what seemed a half hour
played two notes and a string broke
they had to sing some thing called a capella
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
some guy was watching tv
took a piece of paper out of his pocket
said "Hey everybody I won the lottery!"
he bought this bar and fired the band
just so he could sing karaoke
I had to buy it back with my tip jar money
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
they paid everybody back for Enron
cleaned up all the air and water
disarmed all the nuclear bombs
taxed the billionaires to feed the hungry
made health care so cheap you could croak
that's when world peace broke out all over
while you were outside having a smoke
some guy walked in the back way
gave everybody a $100 bill
bought a round of drinks and after he paid
he slipped out again by the back door
I tell ya, this ain't no joke
you missed a free drink and $100
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
you wouldn't believe what went down
a Playboy playmate and her lesbian lover
got out on the dance floor with each other
and everybody stared as Chrissie and Cheryl
got down to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
for the whole song nobody spoke
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
they had a two-for-one special on gin that was sloe
passed out free meatballs and glasses of beer
some guy hit a home run, everybody cheered
the guitar player tuned for what seemed a half hour
played two notes and a string broke
they had to sing some thing called a capella
while you were outside having a smoke
While you were outside having a smoke
some guy was watching tv
took a piece of paper out of his pocket

that's when world peace broke out all over
while you were outside having a smoke
