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 home,

You're always there to rub my back

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

Hours on the phone making pointless calls

I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all

Sometimes I catch myself staring into space

Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face

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 with out you around

No, I'd never make it through with out 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

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

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 with out you around

No, I'd never make it through without you around

No, I'd never make it through with out you around
