Fine, How Are You
Intro
Verse 1
Ran into an old friend by the frozen peas.
She hugged me hard and said, "Oh, honey, tell me, please,
how've you been? It's been forever! What is new?"
So I looked her in the eye, and I told her true:
Chorus
I'm fine! How are you?
Lost the house, lost the job,
and the dog moved in with the realtor too.
Oh, I'm fine! Don't you worry,
I'm just peachy through and through.
I'm fine, fine, fine.
How are you?
Verse 2
Then the pharmacist was counting out my pills
like a blackjack dealer dealing out a hand of ills.
She said, "How's your day been, hon?" with a friendly little wink,
and I said, "Oh, gosh, let's see now, I think..."
Chorus
I'm fine! How are you?
Got a scan lit up like a pinball machine,
and a bill so big it's got a zip code too.
Oh, I'm fine! Don't you worry,
I'm just peachy through and through.
I'm fine, fine, fine.
How are you?
Break
Verse 3
Then my neighbor flagged me down, said she'd had an awful week:
broke a nail, the Wi-Fi's slow, and the faucet's got a leak.
So I dropped my bags right there and I took her by the hands,
said, "Oh, sweetie, that's so much. Sit down. I understand."
Bridge
'Cause "fine" is just a door you close real kind,
so nobody has to see the mess inside.
Most folks only want the short reply,
and honey, that's all right.
But if you ask me twice, and you mean it too,
pull up a chair, I'll put the coffee on for you.
It's a long one.
I'll tell you true.
Final Chorus
I'm fine! How are you?
Lost the house, lost the job,
and the dog sends Christmas cards from the realtor's too.
Oh, I'm fine! Don't you worry,
I'm just peachy through and through.
I'm fine, fine, fine...
No, really. How are you?
Outro
Fine, fine, fine!
Okay, bye! Love your shoes!
