Been a Long Day

Lyrics

[Intro] Well, here it is, 5 p.m.  The finish of a long day's work And there they are both of them The secretary and the clerk Not very well acquainted Not very much to say But I can hear those two little minds Ticking away [Verse 1] Now, she's thinking: I wonder when it starts between us And he's thinking: I wonder if we take the same bus Now, she's thinking: He really is a dear And he's thinking: But what of my career? Then she says: Ahem And he says: Ah Well, it's been a long day [Chorus] Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day [Verse 2] Now, she's thinking: I wish that he were more of a flirt And he's thinking: I guess a little flirting won't hurt Now she's thinking: For dinner we could meet And he's thinking: We both have got to eat Then she says: Oops, I dropped something And he says: Allow me Well, it's been a long day [Chorus] Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day [Bridge] Say, kids, there's a yummy Monday special at Stouffer's It's dollar-ninety vegetable plate And on the bottom of the ad, not bad Service for two, three fifty-eight To make a bargain, make a date Wonderful! Great! [Verse 3] Now she's thinking: I guess I better walk a bit slow And he's thinking: I really oughta let the thing go Now she's thinking: Suppose I take his arm And he's thinking: Well, really, what's the harm? Then she says: Hungry? And he says: Yeah Well, it's been a long day [Chorus] Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day
