Movement Vi - Work Lyrics - Paul Mccartney

(mary dee's office) 

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.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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? 

Mary dee 

Did I sign the letter that you typed up yesterday? 

Is mr. fisher on the flight to la? 

He's got the details of the takeover bid 

And I'll be in a meeting with the minister. 

Women's chorus 

Minister, minister of love. 

Love. 

Mary dee 

Feeling confusion, 

Fear of intrusion, 

Frightened of losing my mind. 

Dreams of the future, 

Thoughts of myself left behind. 

Women's chorus 

Working women at the top. 

Mary dee 

Will I ever stop? 

Orders piling up and up. 

Women's chorus 

Days go by like thursday, friday. 

Mary dee 

Always on the go. 

Part of myself lives inside. 

(shanty's office) 

Men's chorus 

When you ask a working man, 

'does he ever stop? ' 

Will he make it to the top? 

Should he take a break on sunday? 

Work until he drop. 

Shanty 

My early days in school required 

A lot of concentration 

I was finding out. 

But now in later years I find 

My colleagues here are more inclined 

To mess about. 

My wife at home 

Would surely never understand 

If I so much as look at someone else 

Men's chorus 

If men had been the faithful sort 

It surely would have changed the course of history. 

Don't ask me who the first man was 

That dared to take a mistress, 

It's a mystery. 

Your wife at home 

Would surely have to understand 

If you were ever seen with someone else. 

Mr. dingle 

Oh, no she won't! 

Men's chorus 

You wouldn't dare! 

Shanty 

Oh, yes I would! 

Mr, dingle 

Oh, no you don't! 

Men's chorus 

All things matrimonial 

Carry with them certain responsibilities. 

Shanty and mr. dingle 

(ah) 

Carry with them certain responsibilities. 

Mr. dingle 

Let's find ourselves a little hostelry 

Where you can sit and have a drink on me. 

We'll get a chance 

To talk about anyone who bothers us. 

There's so much more to life than meets the eye, 

It's quite enough to make a throat feel dry. 

So let's repair 

To where no-one else would dare to bother us. 

Let's have a drink 

While we think what to do. 

And while we think, 

I'll accept a little drink from you. 

If everybody took a serious view of life, 

We all would feel the same as you. 

But, as it is, 

We don't, so it isn't gonna bother us. 

Let's have a drink 

While we think what to do. 

And while we think, 

I'll accept a little drink from you. 

Mary dee 

Part of myself grows inside.
