Ok Laura, pardon my sloppy production techniques, it's hard to find a place to balance this microphone see so it keeps on falling off, just a minute, you have no idea how difficult this is, that was called Government Centre, and this next one is called the New Teller
well everybody in the bank line knows
that I got a crush on the new teller
It's plain as day, I might as well tell her
she looks my way and she knows quite weller
Well everybody in the other lines
they smile at me the way I'm blushin'
I let them pass me for I'm not rushin'
I've got a crush on the new teller
She looks at me and she knows
There's only three in the other line
In my line, I count eleven
Well that's fine, for I'm in heaven
I got a crush on the new teller
she looks at me and she knows
everybody in the bank line knows
that I got a crush on the new teller
It's plain as day man, I might as well tell her
she looks my way and she knows quite weller
everybody in the other lines
they smile at me the way I'm blushin'
