Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful? Songtext
von The Waitresses

Hi! Nice to see ya
C′mon in, c'mon in
Sorry, the place is a mess
Need an ashtray?
Drink some coffee, some coffee
I know you′ve been upset, what I mean is

Maybe part of your problem is simply you were teased
I know what you'd like
But the good stuff promised is hard fought and not for free

Get tough! Don't be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?

What′s a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What′s a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories


Go out jumpin' with your dumplin′, your dumplin'
Go wheelin′ with your pet
Never worry even a bit, just a bit
If they're any good ones left, use your credit
At the boy bank
The boy bank of those you′ve bounced, you've broke
Spit out the F-word, like a shotgun
A shot gun, if they can't take a joke

Get tough! Don′t be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?

What′s a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories

Starting to see what I mean?

Nice things
Nice things
Oh, oh, oh, so many nice things
As your biggest fan, I want you to have them

Nice things
Nice things
Oh, oh, oh, so many nice things
Don′t mean nothing, if they're dumping
Things that sting on you
Don′t take that, honey


Don't work your buns off, for a fool, for a fool
Who can barely tie his shoes
Don′t answer phone calls, that old boyfriend, old boyfriend
Who'd love to see you lose
You don't need that
When your girlfriend, your girlfriend, falls for all those creeps
Can you tell her? Take the cure, take the cure
Love is obsolete? (Maybe)

Get tough! Don′t be so patient
Get smart, head up, shoulders straight
Since when is it a disaster?
If the "S" on your cape is a little frayed?

What′s a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories

What′s a girl to do?
Born to shop? No! Pretty victories
What's a girl to do?
Scream and screw? No! Pretty victories

Starting to see what I mean?
Sure, stop by anytime
Will yesterday be better?
I think you′ll do just fine
