about

A short while after my friend Mike moved out of town, we were talking on the phone and I teasingly asked if he missed anyone back in the city, sorta fishing for sympathy I guess. Without skipping a beat he said:

"Well, mostly I've been thinking about the girl who used to work at Alexandra's"

Right away I knew who he was talking about. Many years before, while going to college I lived next to a pizza shop in the South end. I ate there every week for my whole degree, most weeks more than once, and at least a few times, up to three times in a single day. I kept their doors open and they kept me alive. Pizza Girl was about our age and worked there at the time. She fed us hundreds of slices over the years, and eventually a casual acquaintanceship grew into a low-key crush. We never even got her name.

When Mike heard the finished song, he described it as "the story of any young man looking for love in a delicious place".

LYRICS

lyrics

I’ve been thinking about the girl who used to work at Alexandra’s
I used to get a slice from her every Tuesday afternoon
She always had a smile for me hot, fresh and ready
Which is more than I can say for how she liked to keep her eyes

A slice of the works or a slice of meat-lovers (In that order)
A can of root-beer or a can of Nestea (Depending on my mood)
I ate a lot of pizza back in those days
Pizza, nature’s most nearly perfect food

I’ve been thinking about the girl who used to work at Alexandra’s
For nigh on two years we danced are delicate dance
When I finally got the nerve to ask for her number
They told me she had moved onto the south of France

A slice of the works or a slice of meat-lovers (In that order)
A can of root-beer or a can of Nestea (Depending on my mood)
I ate a lot of pizza back in those days
Pizza, nature’s most nearly perfect food

I’ve been thinking about the girl who used to work at Alexandra’s
