Squeeze - There at the Top lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

She's independent

She's a modern woman

She needs no prompting

On her should 'n' shouldn't

It's always bosses

Who wish that she wouldn't

Files in the cabinet so neatly numerical

Makes all the clients so neatly alphabetical

Turn of 21

She's looking at the map

Looking at her watch

Bags on the rack

It seems like she's there at the top

There for her service

Comfy red Granada

Up to the midlands

With a taped Sinatra

Plans all the hotels

And the airplane charters

Found under covers with some representative

The deal is effected but still only tentative

Shorthands a letter

Heading on the paper

Slimline her lunchbreak

Will it ever make her

Slender and modern

So all the men will take her

Back to the mirror in the Empress Hotel

Where the businessman smiles and the object is sell
