Lyrics

[WORKERS] La la, singing every morning When the clock is striking eight That's a duty that we never shirk We love singing every morning So we're never, never late When we start our daily work We are Fletcher's American Chocolate Choral Society Fletcher's American Chocolate Choral Society Happy, happy workers we Singing, singing merrily We love our vocal exercising Since efficiency's the thing They encourage us to sing We start the day by vocalizing Tra la la la la la—if we're happy Tra la la la la la—work is snappy So if we seem rather gay As we're working through the day You needn't find it too surprising Tra la la la, good morning, Mister Foreman [TIMOTHY] Good morning The office boy, the doorman Those who really know Say I'm the finest foreman Working for Fletcher and Co.  Our product as represented Sets my heart aglow We've cows that are contented Working for Fletcher and Co.  [WORKERS] We're glad to know the cows are so contented Tra la la la, good morning, Mister Manager [SLOANE] Good morning Work, work, work That's all that I'm asking of you Never shirk, shirk, shirk But show me just what you can do On Saturday we pay off The help in our employ On Sunday there's a day off For every girl and boy Unless I am away off This job should be a joy I am telling you There's little to do But work, work, work [WORKERS] With Sunday free we all should be contented And now our favorite boss you see An American institution The finest type of man is he Three cheers for evolution Fletcher! Fletcher! Fletcher! Tra la la la, good morning, Mister Fletcher [FLETCHERT] Good morning My product is so nourishing The factory is flourishing [TIMOTHY & SLOANE] When Fletcher first began it, he Was working for humanity [WORKERS] His product is so nourishing The factory is flourishing When Fletcher first began it, he Was working for humanity [FLETCHER] Like Listerine and Woolworth Lux and B.V.D.  The public gets its full worth When it'll buy from me [WORKERS] We sing his praises loudly Everywhere we go We'll tell the world we're proudly Working for Fletcher and Co.  [FLETCHER] Let's start the day In the usual way With a program that's habitual Before we part Suppose we start To do the daily ritual I firmly believe— [WORKERS] I firmly believe– [FLETCHER] That Fletcher's American Chocolates— [WORKERS] That Fletcher's American Chocolate— [FLETCHER] Makes bigger and better citizens— [WORKERS] Makes bigger and better citizens— [FLETCHER] For the U.S.A.! [WORKERS] For the U.S.A.! Tra la la la, we're off to work Tra la la la, we're off to work
