lyrics

Alice Escher wasn’t much of a catch
With her crooked smile and her spine to match
She snapped her key off in the lock coming home
A perfect end to a night best forgot

Alice Escher’d made her way to the party
Sat talking low into her untouched Bacardi and coke
She expected to see some friends who never showed,
Sat crossing her thumbs on the sofa alone

Oh, Alice Escher...

Someone asked her for the millionth time
If she’s related to that famous family line
She explained “It’s just a coincidence”
But by then the boy had lost interest

Alice Escher tossed her keys across the table
“What a waste!” she yells to her cat Abigail
“Another night with socks that won’t stay tight!”
Stands crossing her knees under the kitchen light

Oh, Alice Escher...
