“Lines . . . Lines, Everywhere Lines . . .”

And the guy said “Have you been sick recently? If so, we must say goodbye”
So, I turned around, went to the back of the line and I went forward in order to ask him why
He said, “You can’t be sick with a cold to enter here that’s why!”
So, I shook my head, and said “Imagine that. Huh, me coughing upon you?!”
Whoa oh no!

Lines, lines everywhere lines
Blocking our admittance, it blows my mind
Start here, exit there, can’t you see the line?

“What ever happened to the customer is always right?!”

And the guys said “Anyone sick here can’t enter for we don’t want to die”
So, I jumped out of line and yelled at the guys
“Hey! What, don’t we have rights?”
We put up with your lines; we put up with your rules! “Guys, give me what’s mine!”
They then say, “Sorry but your way out of line!” Oh-ho-oh

Lines, lines everywhere lines
Blocking our admittance, it blows my mind
Start here, exit there, can’t you see the lines?

“Talk through the glass and keep your distance; clear?”
“Insert your card; enter your code upon the pad, so we can pull up your file.”
“Thank you for coming into our bank and here is your cash.”
“Now have a fine day.”
As you leave, another approaches the glass. “Minutes have turned into hours!” Oh-ho-oh

And the guy said, “Everybody’s welcome here. Bring us your poor and sick their welcome inside.”
Whatever happened to the good old days? Nowadays, you can’t get inside a church!
Nowadays if your ill your asked to stay home inside!

Lines, lines everywhere lines
Blocking our admittance, it blows my mind
Start here, exit there, can’t you see the lines?

Lines!
Lines!
Everywhere lines!
Lines!
Lines!
Everywhere lines!
Lines!
Lines!
Everywhere lines!

SCENE:
(A crowd in front of a bank acts out together as they stand in line. All of them are either coughing, choking, gagging, wheezing or sneezing while waiting to be served.)
