In the Meantime

Hmm
Yeah, yeahJeannie had big plans
A ballerina Broadway bound
And that '87 Honda
Was gonna get her out of this townCaviar for breakfast
A limo waiting every night
White chiffon and black tie
Her name up in the marquee lights
Oh, how her star was gonna shine
Oh, but in the meantimeMake the coffee, read the paper
Late for work, dreams will wait 'till later
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries
No time to stop and smell the roses
Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine?
How life goes on in the meantimeBobby had a fast ball
Every boy talked about
He made it to the minors
Struck a hundred batters outBut something in his elbow
Gave out in the final game
He had an operation
But never threw quite the same
Yeah, he'll be back when his arm is fine
Yeah, but in the meantimeMake the coffee, read the paper
Late for work, dreams will wait 'till later
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries
No time to stop and smell the roses
Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine?
How life goes on in the meantimeNow, Jeannie takes the girls
To dance class Wednesday afternoons
And Bobby coaches little league
Junior will be pitching soonSometimes at night they laugh about
Old, meant to be's and might have been's
But 6 o'clock comes early
And it's time to start the day againMake the coffee, read the paper
Late for work, dreams will wait 'till later
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries
Take time to stop and smell the roses
Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine? How life goes on
Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine?
How life goes on in the meantimeIn the meantime
Ooh, in the meantime
Life goes on in the meantime
Ain't it funny? In the meantime
Hoah, in the meantime
