1 * * *

Well, I rise up in the morning at a quarter to eight

* * 4 57

Some woman, who's my wife, tells me not to be late

1 * * *

I kiss the kids good-bye, I can't re-member their names

* * 6 57

And week after week, well it's always the same

CHORUS (AFTER EVERY VERSE):

* * * * 4 57

And it's ho boys___, can't you code it, ugh, and program it right

1 * * 57

Nothin' ever happens in this life of mine

1 * 57 1 * *

I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line_______

1 * * *

Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch

* * 4 57

Then cross-corre-late and a break for some lunch

1 * * *

Correlate, tabulate, process and screen

* * 6 57

Program, printout, re-gress to the mean

1 * * *

Then it's home again, eat again, watch some T. V.

* * 4 57

Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three

1 * * *

I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night

* * 6 57

I'm flyin' over the hills, just like an eagle in flight

1 * * *

Some-day I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things

* * 4 57

I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring

1 * * *

Burn up my necktie and set myself free

* * 6 57

'Cause no-one's gonna fold, bend, or mutilate me
