lyrics

I carried all his clubs across the green golf course
I wore the crisp white shirts with the little horse
And then Penelope’s dad, he’d call for me
I’d dance for him before he dashed off to the symphony

I learned to love my puppet strings and the string quartets
I grabbed his tennis balls in between his tennis sets
I studied silverware, I watched the length of my hem
Hoping one day I’d be one of them

But old money likes old metal now
Beethoven’s too hard to take
They want Poison and Whitesnake
I’m saying hi to that lowbrow
Cause old money likes old metal now

Fresh from school and named executive assistant to Penelope’s dad
Twenty-five years and it’s the only job I’ve ever had
I jumped all over the board like a little chess piece
But I guess they don’t play chess no more, I missed the press release

Tonight I wear my cut-off shorts, beer in a plastic cup
The light’s too bright but it’s 80’s night and it’s filling up
Penelope’s dressed for the lumberyard
But she’s got the softest hands
I brought my business cards but
She’s just here to hear the cover bands
