Lyrics Been A Long Day - Frank Loesser

Been A Long Day

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
