Paul Mccartney - Movement Vi - Work lyrics

(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 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.
