[Verse 1] I been workin’ that hard shift With a hole in my soul Need some old school pizza From that lunchroom roll Tin trays and red check floors That steam on the line One bite from that old time gal And I’m doin’ just fine [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, I can smell it now Through the hall and the door Golden crust and saucy top I’m beggin’ for more [Chorus] I need that lunchroom pizza (lunchroom pizza) Made by a real lunch lady (real lunch lady) Best damn pizza I ever ate (best damn pizza) Put me right back in my old school place [Verse 2] Cut in squares with a little bend Cheese pullin’ slow Pepperoni cups in a red hot row Like a carnival show She’d slide it out with a knowing grin Like she made it for me That first hot bite from the cafeteria line Was pure destiny [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, I can see that tray Shinin’ under the light One more slice and I’m gone again Back to Friday night [Chorus] I need that lunchroom pizza (lunchroom pizza) Made by a real lunch lady (real lunch lady) Best damn pizza I ever ate (best damn pizza) Put me right back in my old school place [Bridge] [Guitar break] If you know, then you know That square-cut prayer Flour on her apron Love in the air No fancy joint Can hold a flame To that pizza magic And her sweet sweet smile [Final Chorus] I need that lunchroom pizza (lunchroom pizza) Made by a real lunch lady (real lunch lady) Best damn pizza I ever ate (best damn pizza) Pass me a slice and call me late (best damn pizza) I’ll praise that pie till my dyin’ day
