Well, I rise up in the morning at a quarter to eight
4 57Some woman, who's my wife, tells me not to be late
1I kiss the kids good-bye, I can't re-member their names
And week after week, well it's always the same
CHORUS (AFTER EVERY VERSE):
4 57And it's ho boys___, can't you code it, ugh, and program it right
Nothin' ever happens in this life of mine
1 57 1I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line_______
1
Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
4 57Then cross-corre-late and a break for some lunch
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
6 57Program, printout, re-gress to the mean
1
Then it's home again, eat again, watch some T. V.
4 57Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three
I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night
6 57I'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 57I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring
Burn up my necktie and set myself free
6 57'Cause no-one's gonna fold, bend, or mutilate me
