Midi playing ~ "Come On"

Everyday frustrations seem to get us down
You need a place to go occasionally,
A spot on common ground.
Not far away, nearby will do fine
A place where you can complain and whine,
And get out what's bothering you,
I'm sure there will be someone to comply.

You've always heard the little phrase
"A woman's work is never done,"
Well this is the place you go,
Where you can have some fun.
A gathering of the frustrated and overworked
Are meeting here tonight
So put on your most comfortable clothes,
Anything will be alright!

Now you know wherever women meet,
There has to be food to eat.
So everyone bring their favorite snack,
or dish if you need it complete.
Put it all together,
There's gotta' be something you will like,
And if not, you bring it the next meeting night.

Instead of discussing politics and war,
We'll talk about the underwear on the floor
The dirty glasses sitting around, and
All the food crumbs that can be found
That mysteriously appear,
Every day of every year.

So as soon as you find a place like I described,
Be sure to let me know what time to arrive.
I'll be there with bells on,
But please ladies,
Don't bring your cell phones.
