Don Henley - She's on the Zoom Lyrics

She's on the Zoom
written: D. Henley and D. Kortchmar

Well she got up every morning and she waited in the cold
Got on the stinking yellow school bus and did what she was told
And she stared out the window, all the way down to high school
She went to home economics just like all the other girls
Making chicken a la king and peanut butter swirls
But she knew in her heart
There had to be something better somewhere
Well, the boys in the school, they were just a bunch of fools
And they acted like a bunch of bad bumpkins
But she went out with this guy
'Cause she knew a girl's gotta do something
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!)
Pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Oh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom.

She wasn't meant to hang around here
And be some quarterback's wife
She wasn't meant to stick around here
Be barefoot and pregnant the rest of her life

Well, she got up every morning and she waited in the cold
Got on the stinking yellow cab, put her money through the hole
And she stared out the window all the way down Fifth Avenue
She went on all the cattle calls just like all the other girls
And she waited by the phone with her rollers in her curls
But she knew in her heart there had to be something better
Well, she ran into this guy who was down at 54
Had a lot of golden chains and he got her in the door
And he knew so many people
And he made her lots of pretty promises
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!)
Pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Oh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!)
He showed her pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Oh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom

Oh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
Oh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
(repeat)
