Been A Long Day - Frank Loesser

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 if we take the same bus

And he’s thinking:

There could be quite a thing between us

Now, she’s thinking:

He really is a dear

And he’s thinking:

But what of my career?

Then she says:

Ah!

hum…

And he says:

A hum-hum…

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 gotta eat

Then she says:

Atchoo…

And he says:

Gesundheidt!

Thank you!

Well, it’s been a long day!

Well, it’s been a long

Been a long, been a long

Been a long day

Hey!

There’s a yummy Friday special at Stouffer’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!

It’s fate!

Now she’s thinking:

What female kind of trap could I spring?

And he’s thinking:

I might as well forgot the whole thing

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!

Yeah?

Yeah!

Well, it’s been a long day!

Well, it’s been a long

Been a long, been a long

Been a long day

Well, it’s been a long

Been a long, been a long

Been a long day
