I know how I hate to wait

Like even for a bus or something
             A          D
An important phone call
               A      D
So I can just imagine

Build up the suspense a little
                 A            D
Make it a really big surprise
            A          D

It's like when you've got a really big secret
                        A            D
You're just bursting to tell someone
                    A              D
It was sort of like that with this

And all I ate was olives

Nothing but olives
             A      D
Mountains of olives
