Seth Shapiro got his law degree   He moved to Brooklyn from Schenectady, '93   Got some clients in the food industry   He says it’s not the money, it’s the recipes      He calls his mom, says he’s doing fine   She’s got somebody on the other line   Puts Coldplay on, pours a glass of wine   Curls up with a book about organized crime      When it’s late, and it’s hot   And a date with the Late Show’s all that you’ve got   Don’t give out, don’t give up   One of these nights you might find someone to love      Beth McKenzie got the job of her dreams   Retouching photos for a magazine aimed at teens   It’s Thursday night she should be out on the scene   But she’s sitting at home watching "The King of Queens"      There’s something wrong that she can’t describe   She takes the contacts out of her eyes   Sets the alarm for 6:45   So she can get a little exercise      When it’s late, and it’s hot   And an hour in the shower is the best that you've got   Don’t give out, don’t give up   One of these nights you might find someone to love      And you’re not the only one who’s lonely      Seth Shapiro is trying in vain   To hail a taxi in the morning in the pouring rain   Beth McKenzie sees one just up ahead   She cuts in front of him and leaves him for dead
