(Mary Dee's Office)
2
WOMEN'S CHORUS (office staff)
3
Working women at the top,
4
Will it ever stop?
5
Papers piling up and up.
6
Days go by like Monday, Tuesday:
7
Work until we drop!
8
All the time looking great,
9
Running late,
10
In a state, losing weight,
11
Running late again
12
And again.
13
MARY DEE
14
Let me have the letter that you typed up yesterday.
15
Did Mr. Fisher send the fax to LA?
16
Make sure the flowers don't arrive too late
17
And cancel my appointment at the Squash Club.
18
WOMEN'S CHORUS
19
What club?
20
MARY DEE
21
Squash Club.
22
WOMEN'S CHORUS
23
Working women on the go,
24
Will they ever know
25
What it takes to run the show?
26
Days go by like lightning,
27
Will it ever slow?
28
Half the time feeling dead,
29
Over-fed,
30
Aching head,
31
Miss my bed.
32
Over-fed again And again.
33
MARY DEE
34
Did they ever pick up the accountant's resume?
35
Make sure the car arrives in time for the plane.
36
Get me the details of the takeover bid
37
And write another letter to the Minister.
38
WOMEN'S CHORUS
39
Minister?
40
MARY DEE
41
The Minister of love.
42
WOMEN'S CHORUS
43
Love.
44
(La)
45
MARY DEE
46
Where's the time for standing still?
47
WOMEN'S CHORUS
48
Holding hands and walking free.
49
MARY DEE
50
Where's the time for you...
51
MARY DEE and WOMEN'S CHORUS
52
And me?
53
MARY DEE
54
Did I sign the letter that you typed up yesterday?
55
Is Mr. Fisher on the flight to LA?
56
He's got the details of the takeover bid
57
And I'll be in a meeting with the Minister.
58
WOMEN'S CHORUS
59
Minister, Minister of love.
60
Love.
61
MARY DEE
62
Feeling confusion,
63
Fear of intrusion,
64
Frightened of losing my mind.
65
Dreams of the future,
66
Thoughts of myself left behind.
67
WOMEN'S CHORUS
68
Working women at the top.
69
MARY DEE
70
Will I ever stop?
71
Orders piling up and up.
72
WOMEN'S CHORUS
73
Days go by like Thursday, Friday.
74
MARY DEE
75
Always on the go.
76
Part of myself lives inside.

(Shanty's office)
78
MEN'S CHORUS
79
When you ask a working man,
80
'Does he ever stop?'
81
Will he make it to the top?
82
Should he take a break on Sunday?
83
Work until he drop.
84
SHANTY
85
My early days in school required
86
A lot of concentration
87
I was finding out.
88
But now in later years I find
89
My colleagues here are more inclined
90
To mess about.
91
My wife at home
92
Would surely never understand
93
If I so much as look at someone else
94
MEN'S CHORUS
95
If men had been the faithful sort
96
It surely would have changed the course of history.
97
Don't ask me who the first man was
98
That dared to take a mistress,
99
It's a mystery.
100
Your wife at home
101
Would surely have to understand
102
If you were ever seen with someone else.
103
MR. DINGLE
104
Oh, no she won't!
105
MEN'S CHORUS
106
You wouldn't dare!
107
SHANTY
108
Oh, yes I would!
109
MR, DINGLE
110
Oh, no you don't!
111
MEN'S CHORUS
112
All things matrimonial
113
Carry with them certain responsibilities.
114
SHANTY and MR. DINGLE
115
(Ah)
116
Carry with them certain responsibilities.
117
MR. DINGLE
118
Let's find ourselves a little hostelry
119
Where you can sit and have a drink on me.
120
We'll get a chance
121
To talk about anyone who bothers us.
122
There's so much more to life than meets the eye,
123
It's quite enough to make a throat feel dry.
124
So let's repair
125
To where no-one else would dare to bother us.
126
Let's have a drink
127
While we think what to do.
128
And while we think,
129
I'll accept a little drink from you.
130
If everybody took a serious view of life,
131
We all would feel the same as you.
132
But, as it is,
133
We don't, so it isn't gonna bother us.
134
Let's have a drink
135
While we think what to do.
136
And while we think,
137
I'll accept a little drink from you.
138
MARY DEE

Part of myself grows inside.
