Hmmm

Yeah, yeah



Jeannie had big plans

A ballerina Broadway bound

And that '87 Honda was gonna get het out of this town

Caviar for breakfast

A limo waiting every night

White chiffon and black tie

Her name up in the marquee lights

Oh, how her star was gonna shine

Oh, but in the meantime



Make the coffee, read the paper

Late for work, dreams will wait 'till later

Get the bills paid, buy the groceries

No time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny, ain't it fine

How life goes on in the meantime



Bobby had a fast ball

Everyboy talked about

He made it to the minors

Struck a hundred batters out

But something in his elbow

Gave out in the final game

He had an operation

But never threw quite the same

Yeah, he'll be back when his arm is fine

Yeah, but in the meantime



Make the coffee, read the paper

Late for work, dreams will wait 'till later

Get the bills paid, buy the groceries

No time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny, ain't it fine

How life goes on in the meantime



Now Jeannie takes the girls to dance class Wednesday afternoons

And Bobby coaches little league

Junior will be pitching soon

Sometimes at night they laugh about old meant to bes and might have beens

But 6 o'clock comes early and it's time to start the day again



Make the coffee, read the paper

Late for work, freams will wait 'till later

Get the bills paid, buy the groceries

Take time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny, ain't it fine

How life goes on

Ain't it funny, ain't it fine

How life goes on in the meantime



In the meantime

Ooh, in the meantime

Life goes on in the meantime

Ain't it funny

In the meantime

Hoah in the meantime
