Monday Morning Secretary

(Don Reid)



She leaves home at eight, a little bit late

A little bit tired of it all

She unlocks the doors and does so much more

Than what she gets credit for.



She opens the mail, straightens up without fail

last Friday evening's mess

She makes brand new coffee though her head's hurtin' awfully

By nine she's looking her best.



And Monday comes dawning the world wakes up yawning

And Friday seems so far away

But there bright and early Monday morning secretary

You sure do look pretty today.

At ten there's a break she don't always take

Just time for a powder and smoke

A salesman comes in looks her over end to end

And tells her a new dirty joke.



She laughs off his pass like she's done in the past

She knows all those lines so well

Then at five she goes home to her cat and two rooms

And cries 'cause she's lonely as hell.



And Monday comes dawning the world wakes up yawning

And Friday seems so far away

But there bright and early Monday morning secretary

You sure do look pretty today.



You sure do look pretty today...
