Been a Long Day Lyrics by Frank Loesser

An Evening With Frank Loesser

0

[Intro]
Well, here it is, 5 p.m. 
The finish of a long day's work
And there they are both of them
The secretary and the clerk
Not very well acquainted
Not very much to say
But I can hear those two little minds
Ticking away
[Verse 1]
Now, she's thinking:
I wonder when it starts between us
And he's thinking:
I wonder if we take the same bus
Now, she's thinking:
He really is a dear
And he's thinking:
But what of my career?
Then she says: Ahem
And he says: Ah
Well, it's been a long day
[Chorus]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[Verse 2]
Now, she's thinking:
I wish that he were more of a flirt
And he's thinking:
I guess a little flirting won't hurt
Now she's thinking:
For dinner we could meet
And he's thinking:
We both have got to eat
Then she says: Oops, I dropped something
And he says: Allow me
Well, it's been a long day
[Chorus]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[Bridge]
Say, kids, there's a yummy Monday special at Stouffer's
It's dollar-ninety vegetable plate
And on the bottom of the ad, not bad
Service for two, three fifty-eight
To make a bargain, make a date
Wonderful!
Great!
[Verse 3]
Now she's thinking:
I guess I better walk a bit slow
And he's thinking:
I really oughta let the thing go
Now she's thinking:
Suppose I take his arm
And he's thinking:
Well, really, what's the harm?
Then she says: Hungry?
And he says: Yeah
Well, it's been a long day
[Chorus]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
