My Chair (Office-Chair Charm) lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Verse 1]
What do I see to the right of me?
The man in A-473
He's got a rash where his sleeve's rolled up
And a swizzle stick in his pencil cup
[Verse 2]
And what do I see to the left of me?
It's Ginger from Parsippany
Her hair is brown and her face is red
Her Labrador sleeps on the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
And what do I see in front of me?
A hint of domesticity
The supervisor's little boys
Their smiling faces, smiling toys
[Chorus]
My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept
[Verse 3]
What do I see to the right of me?
A woman I would rather be
Taller, thinner, better skin
A dimple in her perfect chin
[Verse 4]
And what do I see to the left of me?
A man that I would rather be
The deeper voice and the dapper clothes
The leather shoes his girlfriend chose
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, tell me what is left of me
At Great Republic Guaranty?
The little kingdom that I rule
As empress of the invoice pool
[Chorus]
My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept
My chair is twenty stories high
Another solitary night
I see there is no guarantee
Oh, tell me what is left of me?
What's left of me?
