[Cal:]
Jenna! what’s the special pie today?

[Jenna:]
Uh, deep shit blueberry bacon

[Cal:]
Deep shit?

[Jenna:]
Ye, uh, dish! deep dish. Sorry, Cal!

[Cal:]
C’mon, girl

[Jenna:]
The day starts like the rest we’ve seen
Another carbon copy of an old routine

[Becky:]
Days keep coming

[Dawn:]
One out, one in

[Becky, Dawn & Jenna:]
They keep coming

[Cal:]
And make the coffee strong enough to chew!

[Jenna:]
I don’t know what I wish I had
But there’s no time now for thinking things like that
We’ve got too much to do

[Becky & Dawn:]
Too much to do

[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
All these same things
We’re always

Opening up
Letting the day in
Over a cup
We’ll say “hello, how ya been?”
Looking around
Seeing the same things
Every day brings
“Hello, how ya been?”
“Thank you, come again!”
Some things never change

[Becky:]
I wouldn’t call this place a happy end
But I been ’round the block and just came back again
A small town like ours ain’t much
But sometimes home is where your ass ends up

[Cal:]
Order up!

[Dawn:]
Ordered up is how the day will find me
Everything in its place and time
And I like the way most of the days look exactly the same

[Cal:]
Order up!

[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
Check the clock
Tick, tick tock

[Cal:]
Don’t stop!
Serve with a smile!

[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath when you need
To be reminded that with days like these
We can only do the best we can
‘Till we do it again

[Cal:]
Come on, move it now!

[Jenna, Becky & Dawn:]
Opening up
Letting the day in
Opening up
Some things never change
“Hello, how ya been?”
“Thank you, come again!”
Some things never change
