about

Featuring Jason Pintar on horns, this song was just plain fun to do.

lyrics

Thanks for taking this meeting
I’m h ere on behalf of the staff
We know your hip, you’re a cool boss
You’re always good for a laugh

We’ve seen it in trendy restaurants
We all watched Allie McBeal
But when it comes to our “business”
Here’s how the rest of us feel

We don’t like the unisex bathroom
Please know we’re not throwing stones
(2. We’d like to go it alone) (3. Did I just hear a trombone)
(But listen), we can’t handle the unisex bathroom
We all need a room of our own, sometimes, yeah
We all need a room of our own

We hope we don’t sound ungrateful
I know it’s just been referbed
But I’ve heard sounds that are best made in private
My brain and some stomachs are truly disturbed

The girls pretend they don’t use it
The guys need somewhere to scratch
It’s hard to save face when you’re sharing an office
After they’ve seen you lighting a match, (I’m just saying …)
