Note to a Chinese Bus Boy

I was sitting at a round table by the guy with a beard and a black hat

From the first glance of you, your hair caught my eye

Your hair was shaved in the back and on the top

Well, it was really neat

 

If I only knew your name, I would call you by it

But all I know to call you is Bus Boy... Chinese Bus Boy

 

I felt love inside for you and couldn't get you out of my mind

I saw you cleaning tables.  We made eye contact

And I felt really weird inside

I would've looked longer, but I didn't want to be caught

 

If I only knew your name, I would call you by it

But all I know to call you is Bus Boy... Chinese Bus Boy

 

I'm paying this woman five dollars to give this note to you

Follow her to Dollar General where she works, and I'll meet you there

Please don't disappoint me, but follow secretly

I will tell you my name when I see you

 

If I only knew your name, I would call you by it

But all I know to call you is Bus Boy... Chinese Bus Boy

 

If I knew where Eminem was, I'd go for him

But I know where this Chinese Bus Boy is

 

Please don't be caught and make it obvious

I love you and want to be your girlfriend

 

If I only knew your name, I would call you by it

But all I know to call you is Bus Boy... Chinese Bus Boy

 

(This song was lovingly composed by DA and I on a road trip to Chicago, where we encountered a religious tract that included the plight of a young cult member and her secret love for a Chinese Bus Boy)
