After all the football games
After all the shows
After all the dances
Where do we go?
Past the round glass case of pies
Over mozzarella fries
In our third booth on the right
A smoke, a laugh, a fight
But that's not all tonight
That's not all -
One more inside joke
One more vanilla Coke
And I won't be back for a long, long time
Let me finish this last bite
And I'll do my best to write
But if I don't, don't hate me
Just recall me fondly
Please
The ashtray overflows
The pile of empty sugars grows
The waitress says she'll be right back
I hope she just forgets
May she never bring the check
May she never end this -
One more inside joke
One more vanilla Coke
And I won't be back for a long, long time
Let me finish this last bite
And I'll do my best to write
But if I don't, don't hate me
Just recall me fondly
Please
After all the football games
After all the shows
After all the dances
Where do we go?
This place is ours
It will always be ours
This place is ours
It will always be ours
This place is ours
It will always be ours
Until we're not us anymore.
One more inside joke
One more vanilla Coke
And I won't be back for a long, long time
Let me finish this last bite
And I'll do my best to write
But if I don't, don't hate me
Just recall me fondly
Please
After all the football games
After all the shows
After all the dances
Where do we go?
