It took a wall of pin-ups
To keep my chin up
When the pressure got to much to take,
But when the boss came round,
I took my calendars down
(To keep the office paper-free)—
Oh well, for heaven’s sake,
What sort of woman would take
A second look at a dweeb like me?
She’s my, (etc…)
She’s as near to me
As U.S. to G.B.,
But I can hear her as clear as a bell;
She comes and she goes,
Though the windows are closed,
Still I can hear her like the sea in a shell.
You can press your ‘F’,
But don’t hold your breath,
’Cause if you blink, you’re gonna miss
her;
She may be near to here,
But if she does appear,
You needn’t think you’re gonna get to kiss her—
She’s my, (etc…)
When you work too long
And you work too hard,
You might at least expect some reward
For the two square eyes
And the tendonitis
That you catch sat at your keyboard.
