[SMITTY]
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
Now she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
I wonder if we take the same bus
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
There could be quite a thing between us
[SMITTY]
Now, she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
He really is a dear
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
But what of my career?
[SMITTY]
Then she says
[ROSEMARY]
Mmm, huh
[SMITTY]
And he says
[FINCH]
Uh, uh
Well, it's been a long day
[SMITTY, ROSEMARY & FINCH]
Wеll, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[SMITTY]
Now, she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
I wish that he werе more of a flirt
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
I guess a little flirting won't hurt
[SMITTY]
Now she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
For dinner we could meet
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
We both have gotta eat
[SMITTY]
Then she says
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Achoo!
[SMITTY]
And he says
[FINCH, spoken]
Gesundheit!
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Thank you!
[FINCH]
Well, it's been a long day
[SMITTY, ROSEMARY & FINCH]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[SMITTY]
Hey!
There's a yummy Friday special at Stouffer's
It's dollar-ninety vegetable plate
And at the bottom of the ad, not bad
"Service for two, three fifty-eight
To make a bargain, make a date"
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Wonderful
[FINCH, spoken]
It's fate
[SMITTY]
Now she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
What female kind of trap could I spring?
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
I might as well forget the whole thing
[SMITTY]
Now she's thinking
[ROSEMARY]
Suppose I take his arm
[SMITTY]
And he's thinking
[FINCH]
Well, really what's the harm?
[SMITTY]
Then she says
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Hungry?
[SMITTY]
And he says
[FINCH, spoken]
Yeah!
[ROSEMARY, spoken]
Yeah!
[SMITTY, spoken]
Yeah!
[SMITTY, ROSEMARY & FINCH]
Well, it's been a long day
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[ENSEMBLE]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
