Can you type, Mary Alice



My name is Mary Alice Jones and I have come to see

About applying for a job with your company

I've plenty of experience and ability

I know that I am qualified, so please consider me



Can you type, Mary Alice, can you type

Can your fingers fly across those silver keys

Can you answer the telephone and operate a dictaphone

And hike your skirt a bit above your knees



I don't think you understand the reason I am here

I'm not a secretary and I'd like to make that clear

I've been to Yale and Harvard and I have a law degree

I'd like to be a lawyer now in your company



Please, I think someone has a problem and I think it is you

There is such a thing as equal rights and I'm prepared to sue

I think you need a lawyer now more than you did before

Good bye and I'll be seeing you out on the courtroom floor



O, I can type, Mr. Johnson, I can type

My fingers will fly across those silver keys

I'm gonna hop on that telephone, I'm gonna really hum that dictaphone

I'm gonna hang you by your ______ in legal fees



You'd better learn to type, Mr. Johnson, You'd better learn to type

You better get your fingers flying across your own damn keys

Your boss is gonna call you on his telephone, unplug your dictaphone

I'm gonna hang you by your ______ in legal fees



Mr. Johnson, you've got ugly knees.
