Girl in the Cafeteria

from Prepare To Be Rustled by The Jimmys

/

about

"Girl in the Cafeteria" was the first song written collaboratively between Claire Roche and John McGovern, and remains The Jimmys' most well known song, mainly for its ability to get stuck in the head of the listener.

lyrics

Hey girl in the cafeteria,
You don't know it but you're already mine.
Hey girl in the cafeteria,
We both come here each day to dine,
But I know it must be destiny
Pulling me into the arms
Of the girl in the cafeteria,
Yeah, the girl in the cafeteria.

We walk up to lunch
And we always see you,
You come here every day
And eat the same crappy food.
It might seem weird
That we're looking at you,
But it all makes sense
When I run into you

(Chorus)

I see you smiling at me
Across the room,
But for the moment
I don't know what to do.
I wanna walk over one day
And sit next to you,
But that's never gonna happen,
So this goes out to you.

(Chorus) x 3
