Work - Working Women at the Top

WOMEN'S CHORUS (office staff)
Working women at the top,
Will it ever stop?
Papers piling up and up.
Days go by like Monday, Tuesday:
Work until we drop!
All the time looking great,
Running late,
In a state, losing weight,
Running late again
And again.

MARY DEE
Let me have the letter that you typed up
yesterday.
Did Mr. Fisher send the fax to LA?
Make sure the flowers don't arrive too late
And cancel my appointment at the Squash
Club.

WOMEN'S CHORUS
What club?

MARY DEE
Squash Club.

WOMEN'S CHORUS
Working women on the go,
Will they ever know
What it takes to run the show?
Days go by like lightning,
Will it ever slow?
Half the time feeling dead,
Over-fed,
Aching head,
Miss my bed.
Over-fed again
And again.

MARY DEE
Did they ever pick up the accountant's
resume?
Make sure the car arrives in time for the
plane.
Get me the details of the takeover bid
And write another letter to the Minister.

WOMEN'S CHORUS
Minister?

MARY DEE
The Minister of love.

WOMEN'S CHORUS
Love.
(La)

MARY DEE
Where's the time for standing still?

WOMEN'S CHORUS
Holding hands and walking free.

MARY DEE
Where's the time for you...

MARY DEE and WOMEN'S CHORUS
And me?
