Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver (Dri-ver)

Trying to find out what he used to do

Tells me that he always kept his engine (En  - gine)

Spit and polished up as good as new

But he said his only great ambition

Was to work with lions in a zoo
A              Dmaj7
Oh, to work with lions in a zoo

Yes dear, you heard right

Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (Waitress)

A
Winter time she ran away and hid
Em7            E7
Once she had a Hollywood audition

But the part was given to a kid

Searching for a picture of a fight
