Lucy at the Gym

Jill Sobule

lucy at the gym

she's there every time I go

and I don't go that often

so she must live at the gym

I stare at her ribs

that show through the spandex

her little legs are working

she's going somewhere

she's climbing up the stairs

and when she reaches the top

her dreams will be there

Lucy at the gym

Lucy on the scale for the third time

through thick and thin

Lucy's at the gym

She's staring at the clock

and like the second hand, she never stops

She's Lucy at the gym

When she takes a shower

after all the hours

does she have a place to go?

Is there someone waiting

or is Lucy all alone?

I'm at the gym

and Lucy's not there

it's got me kind of worried

so I imagine the worst

She made it up to heaven

and when she met her maker

he said, Come right in,

I'll show you 'round the gym

Everyone's beautiful and thin

and here there's no sins and your life can begin

Lucy at the gym

Keep working Lucy

Keep going girl

Keep going Lucy

Keep going girl

Keep going

Keep going....
