“Hey Julie” is a very upbeat track off Fountains of Wayne’s 2003 studio album, Welcome Interstate Managers. It’s about a woman who cheers her man up after he spends all day at a terrible job with an even worse boss.
The song was featured in an episode of Scrubs when JD began dating a woman named Ju...
[Verse 1]
Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get back home, you're always there to rub my back
[Chorus]
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up, trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
[Verse 2]
Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of paper that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
[Chorus]
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up, trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
[Bridge]
How did it come to be that you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway
[Verse 3]
Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel
[Chorus]
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up, trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
