Overview
For a long time "Lisa" was believed to be part of Songs from the Black Hole as it was listed with the rest of the songs in the Recording History on weezer.com. A picture of a Songs from the Black Hole demo CD from Karl Koch also showed that "Lisa" was Track 12 on the track list. However, Cuomo denied this on his MySpace during the time he posted the sheet music to several SFTBH songs. When Alone III and The Pinkerton Diaries were announced 2011, it was revealed that the song was actually about Pat Magnarella's secretary.

Lyrics
<lyrics> Ring ring, who's there? It's my favorite girl in the whole world What's that? She wants for me to do something for Magna
Li- Li- Li- Lisa, plea, plea, plea, plea-suh Cut me a little slack Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you 'Cause all we ever seem to do is business, Read and sign, and fax this Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you
Steve Perry and Seal we're all in the same boat together We're slaves who row hopelessly in love with our master
Li- Li- Li- Lisa, plea, plea, plea, plea-suh Cut me a little slack Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you 'Cause all we ever seem to do is business, Read and sign, and fax this Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you
Li- Li- Li- Lisa, plea, plea, plea, plea-suh Haven't we anything to say Besides the news of the day? Give me a little kiss
Oh, Bob, isn't there something you can do? After all, doesn't Lisa work for you?
Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you 'Cause all we ever seem to do is business, Read and sign, and fax this Oh Lisa, wish I didn't work for you </lyrics>
