lyrics

Wi-Fi
Written by Ciaran McMeeken / Soul Searchin’

Craving a conversation with the prettiest girl in room
She’s serving coffee, saving for college at the local school
I buck up courage to ask a question of this curious looking creature
I pause for a second, all I can think to say is

(Chorus)
Can I get on your Wi-Fi?
I got something to download
I need to send an email
Can you gimme the passcode?

She smiles and says you sure ain't from this part of town,
You gotta crazy accent coming backwards out of your mouth
You take sugar and cream?
I say only in my dreams and the colour of her cheeks turns red
She says boy ain't you sweet

(Chorus)
And I give myself a high five
Can I get a down low?
See I got this female
Wrapped round my thumb nail

She’s polishing cutlery, catching up with the regular customers
It's wonderful the way she dances around the tables

Pulling faces at the children, running races with dinner plates
But I'm losing my patience, so I pull her aside and say

What do you say, you wanna take me out?
Maybe we could paint the town a different shade, my shout!
She looked me up and down and without making a sound
She turned around a left a piece of paper faced upside down

00XY55590
I thought I got her details
But she gimme the passcode
