This song was written for Marci Geller's friend Jennifer Walsh who I had a big crush on. I never had the nerve to tell Jennifer how I felt but I did present her with this song on a CD. Sadly, she never told me what she thought about this song, considering I originally sang "Jennifer Walsh is her name." The lyrics are true details about Jen. She was afraid of deer, her brother used to laminate everything and she used to refer to herself in the third person all the time.

lyrics

THE GIRL'S GOT PATIENCE

Jennifer - Jennifer X is her name
Jennifer - Jennifer X is her name
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience

Jennifer - she’s got herself a brother named Steve
Here he comes
(Humm, I wonder what he’ll laminate today)
The boy sure got some serious needs
In the most inappropriate time
he’s got questions on his mind
and the only suitable one to set him strait
Is the girl I’m singin’ ‘bout - she’s got him figured out
What to say. what to do and how to escape...

Oh, Jennifer - the girl’s got patience
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience

In the middle of the kitchen
I remember making conversation with the girl
And she stood there real politely in a daze
As if to barely comprehend my words
Then she referred to herself in the third....person

Off to Jen Land she goes
What is it like there?
Off to Jen Land she goes
A place free of reindeer... Jennifer...

The girl’s got patience
Jennifer - the girl’s got patience

Jennifer - Jennifer X is her name
Jennifer - Jennifer X is her name
Off to Jen Land she goes
What is it like there?
