0:00Put Me On Top - Aimee Mann
0:12I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
0:19Why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates
0:26I've heard that good things will come to he who waits
0:34I should be riding on a float in the hit parade
0:42Instead of standing on the curb behind the barricade
0:49Another verse in the doormat serenade
0:56Won't you put me on top
1:00Won't you put me on top or change the odds
1:04Won't you put me on top
1:08Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
1:18Oh at least put some hope in the box for me
1:26'Cause it's only black and white and not a lot of each
1:33There's a remote on the shelf but it's out of reach
1:39Won't you put me on top
1:43Won't you put me on top or change the odds
1:48Won't you put me on top
1:51Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
1:56Oh oh oh
2:01Put some hope in the bottom of the box for me
2:06I need it
2:14Put me on top
2:27Won't you put me on top
2:31Put me on top
2:32Won't you put me on top or change the odds
2:35Won't you put me on top
2:40Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
2:44Put me on
2:47Put me on
2:48Won't you put me on top again
2:53Or at least put some hope
2:57Put some hope in the bottom of the box
3:04Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box
