 The first time that she saw him

  was in the office canteen

 He was buying a cup of coffee --

  three sugars and double cream

Two weeks later she saw him

  at the elevator banks

 His hands were full, she held the doors for

  him and he said thanks

 Now she's in love

 For her it doesn't take much

 She's in love

 But this is not your ordinary office crush

 For she works in the basement

  near the boiler room door

 And he works in accounting

  on the 37th floor

 Now I'm not much of a mathematician

  but even I can see

 That in a building of 37 floors

  and four thousand employees

 Her chances of running into him were really

  not that good

 Even though she hung out at the canteen and rode the elevator

  every spare minute she could

 'Cause she's in love

 And she don't even know his name (it's Edwin)

 She's in love

 Love can be such a cruel cruel game

 For she works in the basement

  near the boiler room door

 And he works in accounting

  on the 37th floor

(And by the way, did I happen to mention...)

 That when this building was constructed

  it was done improperly

 And one day on the fourth floor

  there was a short in the electricity

 It burned up walls and desks and chairs

  and all the secretaries

 And the alarm did not go off until it

  reached floor 33

 Floor thirty-three, floor thirty-three

(And on the upper floors people were running and screaming and

jumping out of windows to get away from the flames -- it was

gross)

 Now the woman in the basement,

  she ran up the stairs

Out the emergency exit

  into the fresh air

She looked up because just then

  it began to shower

 That's when she saw her true love coming...

  one hundred miles an hour

 Oh-oh, Oh no....

 I'm not much of a mathematician,

  but even I can see

 The chances of him landing on her

  were very slim indeed (but he did!)

 So they buried them together

  the following day

 And even now when I ride the elevator

  I can hear someone say

 She was in love

 For her it didn't take much

 She was in love

 But this was not your ordinary office... crush

 For she worked in the basement

  near the boiler room door

 And he worked in accounting

  on the 37th floor

She worked in the basement

  and he the 37th floor

 But fate brought them together,

  they flirted nevermore

Nevermore, nevermore...
