[Verse 1]
The ToTo song was playing in the dimly lit department store.
I wanted to keep listening to it forever.
I wondered who chose the song; it was a nice touch.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
However, it was almost time for the department store to open.
It was just before 10 o’clock.
[Chorus 1]
As the 10 o’clock bell rang, the lights of the department store brightened, and the place bustled with energy.
We stood on the sales floor, ready to greet customers.
[Verse 2]
The salesgirl next to me had perfect makeup, and her beautiful figure was mesmerizing.
When there was a lull in the flow of customers, I tried to talk to her for a bit.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But another customer arrived soon after, making it difficult to have a conversation.
At lunchtime, I went to the staff cafeteria with her.
[Chorus 2]
She chose tomato spaghetti.
“Oh no! I got ketchup on my shirt collar,” she said while swirling the spaghetti around her fork.
It was a tiny stain, no bigger than a pinhole.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
All I could do was give her a troubled look.
In my heart, I felt sorry that I couldn’t do anything for her.
There weren’t many customers, so work wasn’t too busy.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But my feet hurt from standing for so long.
She maintained her graceful posture with ease.
[Chorus 3]
I asked her, “Do your feet hurt from standing all the time?”
She replied, blushing a little, “No, but it’s a pain when my feet get swollen.”
I felt like I had gotten just a little closer to her.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I felt like I had gotten just a little closer to her.
I felt like I had gotten just a little closer to her.
I felt like I had gotten just a little closer to her.
I felt like I had gotten just a little closer to her.
[Fade Out]
Sound: A blend of jazz fusion disco creates a tropical atmosphere, featuring smooth jazz piano and alto saxophone ad-libs, light 16-beat drums, funky slap bass, lyrical electric synthesizer backing, a driving horn section, flowing soft guitar strokes enhanced by chorus and compressor, and harmonized high-pitched male and female vocals with long echo and reverb.
