Rush Hour Blues

He gets up early about seven o’clock
The alarm goes off and then the house starts to rock
In and out of the bathroom by seven-o-three
By seven-ten he’s downstairs drinking his tea
So put a shine on your shoes
Put on your pin-striped suit
Can’t lose those early-morning-can't-stop-yawning
Push and shoving rush hour blues
Wife:
Darling are you ready?
You’ll be late for the bus!
Star:
Don’t rush me baby
While I’m using my brush
Wife:
Get a move on darling
You’re cutting it fine
Star:
Cool it baby
I’ve got plenty of time
So put a shine on your shoes
Put on your pin-striped suit
Can’t lose those early-morning-can't-stop-yawning
Push and shoving rush hour blues
Soon I’ll be just one of the commuters
Waiting for the subway train
I’ll be rushing up the stairs
And in the elevator
By the time that I get there
I’m gonna feel like a mole in the ground
I’ll be caught in the crush
I’ll be pushed and be shoved
And I’ll be trying to get the subway train
I’ll be fighting with my brief case
And my umbrella
Every morning and every night
Some people do it every day of their lives
Wife:
Read the paper later
You’ll be caught in the queues
Star:
Don’t rush me baby
While I’m reading the news
Wife:
Darling get a move on
You’re cutting it fine
Star:
Cool it baby
I’ve got plenty of time
A quick cup of coffee and a slice of
Toast and the Star (or should we say
Norman?) is off to do battle with the
Rush hour queues and traffic jams
In the rush hour queues
No one gives a damn
No one knows where I’m going to
No one knows who I am
I’m sitting in my office
In the metropolis
I’m just part of the scenery
I’m just part of the machinery
Chained to my desk on the 22nd floor
I can’t break out through the automatic door
I’d jump out the window but I can’t face the drop
I’m sitting in a cage with an eye on the clock
I’m ready to start paying my dues
I’ve got to lose those early-morning-can't-stop-yawning
Push and shoving, rush hour blues
Well I’m ready to start paying my dues
I’ve got to lose those early-morning can’t-stop-yawning
Push and shoving rush hour blues
