Working in a suit and tie
On the twenty-second floor
A wife who cooks and stays at home
And children to support
And they provide some comfort
From your worries and your cares
But you get your kicks in tearooms
From ten-minute love affairs
And that's just fine
You won't find a lecture here
But you get more unhappy
With each pa**ing year
At the office Christmas party
Your wife is by your side
But with all the pretty women
It's the men who catch your eye
The old ones are distinguished
And the young ones are so sweet
And you would like to dance with them
But you have to be discreet
Holding onto ideal
That you don't understand
Sacrificing all the love
You'd like to give to a man
Martinis on a Friday
Business lunch at noon
The secretary's curious
Why you left your desk so soon
Rushing out to meet someone
That you never thought would call
'Cause you were slightly older
And he was dark and tall
Now he is there beside you
But there's no place to go
'Cause he has got a roommate
And you've got a family at home
