Mr. Walker, It’s All Over

[Verse 1]
I left Garden City Kansas with a ticket and a yen to see New York
I type eigty words a minute, so your corporation let me go to work
I bring paper clips and coffee, even help you dodge your domineering wife
But Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life

[Verse 2]
In this building there's a crowd of guys with old familiar thoughts upon their minds
And that's a lot of hands a-reaching out to grab the things that I consider mine
And the president pursues me even though he's old and hair a-turnin' white
But Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life

[Verse 3]
There's a flat in Greenwich Village that I took because the subway wasn't far
But a trumpet player's upstairs and below me there's a jumping all night bar
And to frost a bitter cake I have to share the place with bugs and big ol' mice
Oh, Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life

[Verse 4]
Your sweetheart in personnel said I should give her written notice like the rest
I wrote "Goodbye" with my brightest lipstick right across her big expensive desk
You'd better call the Times and tell 'em put your wanted ad right back in classified
'Cause Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life

[Verse 5]
There's a Greyhound at the station and a mom at home with welcome arms for me
Garden City's looking better every minute now since I have learned to see
And the boy next door don't know it but come June he's gonna gain himself a wife
Oh-woah, Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life

[Outro]
Mr. Walker it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life
