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 |
