Well, back there with the maids, I would clean for guest
Men and women would just eat and I'd clean up their mess
I'd put some plates on the shelves; clean those dishes
Liked to clean some broccoli, occasionally fish
There was a kid trash'n those who clean these pots
He said it's not a good job, we clean rot and slaw
A who bought dinner at here gave me a quarter, no mo'
A tip's how we make a livin' ya' know
And the boss said it's time to move up a notch
Get known as a guy that cleans with honor
Said to me, "Ya' wanna? I'm gonna move
You up to a bus boy you should except this offer
Start-a cleanin' more urgent and more many reasons
Make it spotless, no topping no seasonings"
That rocks, cause I'm a real good boy
And I'm cleanin' that mess sucka' cause I'm gonna be a

Bus Boy baby
Clean'n rice and hash, everyone is buyin'
Bus Boy baby
Cleanin' chilli while the chef hires
I'm gonna be a Bus Boy baby
Shinin' some knifes while the bosses say
Bus Boy baby
"Can you clean the rig while the buyers wait?"

I let them clear the little hotel and I started in
I go (whistle) while I dusted by friends
They told me, "You're no good, we found food on the side"
Well, that's to bad, I found the food fine
They told me, "Just leave, get out of sight"
I'm goin' back in the part of the kitchen, right?
Cause if I time this right, I'm gonna make like a kid, boy
and let pals at more resorts know why they all need a

Yeah, it rocked, I did haul those messes
But there's something missin' so I gotta confess
It seems I can't find the head of lettuce, where's it at
Boss said"Find it quick or you're fired at last"
No kiddin', I was sittin' in the kitchen one morn'
It was lost, my job's tossed, right smack out of the door
Tried buyin' more lettuce just to make this all right
Well I bought another head, and used it once that night
huh
Boss came up, said,"Hey, where's the lettuce"
He was suspicious, didn't think that he could take it
Things did shake-up, the head chef came up
He told me it was fake, and I bought another lettuce
Pride got a grip on me,
bus boys aren't supposed to do bad deed
I didn't know nothin', I knew colors and flavors
I was just a poser, I left that night later
Now I'm a chaffer, this jobs the pits
I always that the driver were, "race and go idiots"
I'm makin' it my biz the accel as a chaffeur
But I still remember my job at the hotel as a
