Delivery
[FREDDY]
This is my first job
I smell like a burger
The register is easy
Hey, you wanna burger?
I hit the picture of the burger
Ev'ry day, the same old thing
Hello, chicken nugget, quarter pounder
And I wait for that phone to ring, that phone to ring
The phone at the end of the counter
When I see the manager
Writing down an order
When I see the manager
Making change
When I see the manager
Writing an address
I whisper, yes!!
Gimme some change
And send me on my way
Okay...
I'm off on a delivery!
And I'm finally on my own
[ENSEMBLE]
Off on a delivery!
[FREDDY]
Delivery! Peace!
And I'm headed to parts unknown!
[ENSEMBLE]
Off on a delivery, delivery...
[FREDDY]
Fresh air and exercise
And sometimes I'll throw in
Some extra fries
For calling it in today
My world is grey
[FREDDY & ENSEMBLE]
Until they send me away on a
Delivery!
[FREDDY]
And the wind is in my hair!
[ENSEMBLE]
Off on a delivery
[FREDDY]
No one's watching me
I can wander anywhere
[ENSEMBLE]
Ahhh, Ahhh
[FREDDY]
But the food is getting cold
And so I do as I am told
Responsibility
I have responsibilities
See my father sits at home
He doesn't work any more
While my mother works a double shift
At the department store
And it's nice
Not having to ask for money
And it's nice
Not having to ask for dinner
And it's nice, on nights
When you have to get away...
[ENSEMBLE]
I need delivery
[FREDDY]
I go to work every day
I'm putting money away
Hey, you know what they say
Slow and steady
I'm making minimum wage
That's pretty good for my age
If I can manage to save
[FREDDY & ENSEMBLE]
I'll be ready to go
[FREDDY]
Wherever I gotta go, (ahh)
Wherever destiny leads me (ahh)
For now the restaurant feeds me
And my family needs me
Delivery!
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes!
[FREDDY]
The customer is always right
[ENSEMBLE]
Where's my delivery
My delivery?
[FREDDY]
Thanks for getting me out
Of the house tonight!
[ENSEMBLE]
Where's my delivery?
[FREDDY]
I keep the orders straight
And I say "sorry" if I'm late
[ENSEMBLE]
You're late!
[FREDDY]
Some extra napkins for your plate
For making you wait
That'll be $12.98
For your delivery!
I can wander out of range
[ENSEMBLE]
Here's my delivery
My delivery!
[FREDDY]
Toward a future new and strange
[ENSEMBLE]
Here's my delivery
Delivery!
[FREDDY]
This job is just a start
But wait
I haven't told you my favorite part
It's when they pay...
And then they say...
[ENSEMBLE]
Say...
Say, hey!
[REX, spoken]
Fuck it. Keep the change
[FREDDY]
Keep the change
Keep the change
Keep the change
And bit by bit I keep the change
If I save a little everyday
This job's gonna deliver me
Far away
I'll look back on this
And say
Thank god for
[ALL]
Delivery!
