Lyrics

Office work today
And I can see my yearly pay
And I won't have much to say
So I'll get on top some way

Talk show world
With office girls
Coffee break
And I'll make me a date

Adjusting my career
It picks up every year
I'll get on top some day
If I can only find a way

Talk show world
With office girls
Coffee break
And I'll make me a date

I'm gonna marry me a mouse
And then I'm gonna buy a house
Downpayment on a brand new car
You can see I'm goin' far

{Office Girl: "You know...to say something....and, uh, he says to 
me...and I said, 'Is there anyone else...' ...the whole bloody...
[laughter]....We all were....We're not happy."}

Office work today
And I can see my yearly pay
And I won't have much to say
So I'll get on top some way

Talk show world
With office girls
Coffee break
And I'll make me a date
