Jill Sobule - My Chair (Office-Chair Charm) Lyrics

What do I see to the right of me?
The man in A-473
He's got a rash where his sleeve's rolled up
And a swizzle stick in his pencil cup

What do I see to the left of me?
It's Ginger from Parsippany
Her hair is brown and her face is red
Her Labrador sleeps on the bed

And what do I see in front of me?
A hint of domesticity
The supervisor's little boys
Their smiling faces, smiling toys

My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept

What do I see to the right of me?
A woman I would rather be
Taller, thinner, better skin
A dimple in her perfect chin

And what do I see to the left of me?
A man that I would rather be
The deeper voice and the dapper clothes
The leather shoes his girlfriend chose

Oh tell me what is left of me
At Great Republic Guaranty
The little kingdom that I rule
As empress of the invoice pool

My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept

My chair is twenty stories high
Another solitary night
I see there is no guarantee
Oh tell me what is left of me
What's left of me

What do I see to the right of me?
The man in A-473
He's got a rash where his sleeve's rolled up
And a swizzle stick in his pencil cup

What do I see to the left of me?
It's Ginger from Parsippany
Her hair is brown and her face is red
Her Labrador sleeps on the bed

And what do I see in front of me?
A hint of domesticity
The supervisor's little boys
Their smiling faces, smiling toys

My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept

What do I see to the right of me?
A woman I would rather be
Taller, thinner, better skin
A dimple in her perfect chin

And what do I see to the left of me?
A man that I would rather be
The deeper voice and the dapper clothes
The leather shoes his girlfriend chose

Oh tell me what is left of me
At Great Republic Guaranty
The little kingdom that I rule
As empress of the invoice pool

My chair is twenty stories high
I see you when you tell a lie
Where you ate and where you slept
The promises you never kept
You never kept

My chair is twenty stories high
Another solitary night
I see there is no guarantee
Oh tell me what is left of me
What's left of me
