There's a maze of yellow tape laid out on the hotel floor That we're not allowed to cross or to impede Until a single volunteer with a radio in ear Tells us all to form a human centipede... And then we're waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Keep your badges out and facing forward, Don't stop just keep moving toward the line Waiting to wait in line. A new line will be starting shortly says a man who's curt an portly With the voice of hand-me0down, implied authority. There's tons of us and one of him, and our ranks just keep closing in I'd show him that he's not the boss of me, Except I'm waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Waiting to wait in line... Keep your badges out and facing forward, Don't stop just keep moving toward the line Waiting to wait in line. credits

Title
Waiting To Wait In Line
At Dragon*Con 2015, sitting a merch table fighting boredom with the Blibbering Humdingers, I watched people line up, hour after hour, waiting to get the go ahead from staff to form the "official" line. They weren't allowed to cross the yellow tape until the correct time. I had a guitar. I improvised the song, Kirsten Vaughan sang harmony (and rightly insisted that "waiting to wait in line" was funnier and more internally consistent than "waiting to stand in line." The crowds loved it. Sean Smith was performing with me that year and we did the song live in the concourse show. Watchers and passersby loved it.
