Frank Loesser — Been a Long Day

Well, here it is five 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 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 Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day 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've got to eat Then she says: Oops! And he says: Allow me Well it's been a long day Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day Say, kids, there's a yummy Monday special at Stoffer'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! Fate! 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 Well, it's been a long Been a long, been a long Been a long day
