(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.



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-acap
