martin mull – they never met lyrics
[verse 1]
the boy was almost forty+eight years old
all he’d ever gone to bed with, was a cold
and he said to his mama
“mama, i’m afraid it’s true;
only woman that could love me is you.”
the girl could almost drink her age in beer++
couple cases, give or take a year
she worked at the hospital
hey, lots of people do
that’s where they fell in love
(oh god, i wish that that was true)
[chorus]
but they never met
not even briefly
i know what you thought
you thought that they might
now, what was the problem?
thе problem was, chiefly
she workеd the day shift
and he worked the night
they never met
not even informally++
i know you thought things like this work out right
no, no, they never met
not even abnormally
she worked the day shift
and he worked the night
[verse 2]
now the boy is almost fifty+nine
you ask him, “how’s it goin’, frank?”
and he says, “fine.”
“and what’s become of mama?”
“well, mama’s in a better place.”
and he points his finger right straight out in sp+ce
the girl is finally chief admitting nurse;
considering what she had for brains, it could be worse
she could have been a victim of the dreaded asian flu;
she could have had to live with you+know+who++
[chorus]
but they never met
not even briefly
i know what you thought
you thought that they might
now, what was the problem?
the problem was, chiefly
she worked the day shift
and he worked the night
[bridge]
[verse 3]
now the boy’s gone to meet his mom++
natural causes: the bottle, not the bomb
they found him in the dining room
his face was in a stew
they dressed him in a suit of shiny blue
that same year, the girl gave up the ghost
the minister said she’d be missed the most
her patients cried a tear
recalling how she signed their casts
the nurses said she’d find a man at last
[chorus]
but they never met
not even briefly
i know what you thought
you thought that they might
now, what was the problem?
the problem was, chiefly
she worked the day shift
and he worked the night
they never met
not even in spirit++
i know you thought things like this work out right!
no, no, she went to heaven…
but he’s nowhere near it
she works the day shift
and he works the night
