Drop the Kids Off at the Pool

Lyrics

[Intro]
Gather 'round, you midnight ramblers and neon-lit souls
Our girl Sisu's got a rumbling deep in her bones
It ain't a flummoxed panic, it ain't a tragic flight
Just a little ballyhoo that requires the porcelain shine

[Verse 1]
She gives a knowing nod to the bartender man
Got a sudden itinerary, a highly tactical grand
No need to blush or make a desperate dash
Just a polite skedaddle before she's moving too fast
She steps away from the music with a dignified stroll
Like a suburban captain on a weekend patrol

[Chorus]
She's gotta drop the kids off at the pool
Grab the imaginary towels, play it perfectly cool
Down the long tile hallway, past the velvet rope
On a noble expedition of hygiene and joke
It's a chore of the evening, a domestic rule
Gotta drop the kids off at the pool

[Verse 2]
Now this fine piece of camouflage, this linguistic disguise
Was born in the cul-de-sacs beneath the American sky
Around 1989, some father with a grin
Needed a polite alibi for the shape he was in
He traded the crude truth for a station-wagon dream
Taking the imaginary youth to the chlorinated stream

[Bridge]
So Sisu marches onward to the YMCA of the brain
Leaving the loud and the rowdy to their midnight game
She's the pioneer of the powder room, the boss of the stall
Handling the heavy cargo with no trouble at all

[Chorus]
She's gotta drop the kids off at the pool
Grab the imaginary towels, play it perfectly cool
Down the long tile hallway, past the velvet rope
On a noble expedition of hygiene and joke
It's a chore of the evening, a domestic rule
Gotta drop the kids off at the pool

[Outro]
The minivan's parked, the errands are through
She'll be back on the dance floor in a minute or two
Lighter in the spirit, returning to the wild
Leaving the deep end...
Well, you get the idea.
