Lament #1
Push in your chair It’s blocking the way Push in your chair I need to get through Push in your chair It only takes a moment It’s easy to do Push in your chair It’s showing respect Push in your chair It’s the right thing to do Push in your chair Your mother doesn’t work here Push in your chair You’re leaving a mess Push in your chair Take a moment and think Push in your chair It’s the least you can do.
