People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
|
Lining up sideways around the block
|
It`s not for the money she say to you
|
Almost convincing herself that it`s true
|
I`ll take care of your dog when you`re away
|
|
I don`t mind working Saturdays
|
When you wanna work I`ll work with you, she say
|
And I`ll go on working when you wanna play
|
Nothing gonna hurt you when I`m around
|
I`ll keep my eyes wide
|
open and my nose to the ground
|
I`ll be like a mama with a baby cub
|
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
|
When you begin to see a sinister gleam
|
You`re locked in too tight on the same team
|
There`s a little holiday in her heart
|
When she sees you slip up, Ahhhhh
|
It`s like Christmas Eve just to see you trip up
|
Ooops, then down again
|
|
She`ll sit on the floor hardly hiding a grin
|
When her tears spill out, crocodile chagrin
|
It`s her contempt for you, she thinks you`re a slob
|
|
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
People say a lot when they want the job

Greatest cook to bring a meal
|
(didn`t need a recipe)
|
Said she`ll also deal the cards
|
(dealt the knave and two and three)
|
Said she also feel the thrill
|
of the willow in the wind
|
|
It`s already too late when she`s reading your mail
|
Calling your agent and making the deal
|
She`ll just copy and paste it and make it last
|
Nothing is sacred about your past
|
She`ll tell of the poppies in the July fest
|
Maybe her brother with the badge can make the arrest
|
You could go to jail, fail all the tests
|
Forget your keys and
|
your secrets and your little black box
|
|
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
|
People say a lot when they want the job, yeah
|
People say a lot when they want the job

|
She was awfully good at fire
|
(fiery fiery hussy burn)
|
She burned bridges where she could
|
(she really couldn`t burn them very well)
|
She turned young men into torches
|
(burning scarecrow)
|
She had a way with wood
|
(do away with wood, do away with wood)
|
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
Lining up eager around the block
|
Promising, promising never to quit
|
Well it`s a full time job to be a hypocrite
|
Maybe they remember that they`ve done it before
|
Practicing, with their dolls on the floor
|
|
The lie itself becoming the seed
|
The messy mascara, the future deed
|
The actor`s bow, the junkie`s need
|
They line up again just to wipe you clean
|
They line up again just to wipe you out
|
Line up again around the block
|
|
A mighty force of youth for hire
|
Spouting ideas that geniuses would rob ohhhhh
|
|
People say a lot when they want the job, oh
|
People say a lot when they want the job, ah
|
People say a lot when they want the job. yeah
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
People say a lot when they want the job
|
|
Tell me Phoebe, do you want someday
|
to have an award like that of your own?
|
More than anything else in the world
|
Then you must ask Miss Harrington how to get one
|
…Miss Harrington knows all about it
