mr walker it s all over

Lynn Anderson

I left Garden City Kansas with a ticket and a yen to see New York
I typed eigty words a minute so your corporation let me go to work
I fetch paper clips and coffee even help you dodge your domineering wife
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
In this building there s a lotta guys with old familiar thoughts upon their minds
That s a lot of hands a reaching out to grab the things that I consider mine
And the president persues me even though he s old and his hair is turnin white
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
There s a flat in Greenwich Village that I took because the subways wasn t far
But a trumpet player s upstairs and below me ther s a jumpin all night bar
And to frost the bitter cake I have to share the place with bugs and big ol mice
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
Your sweetheart in personnel said I should give her written notice like the rest
So I wrote goodbye with my brightest lipstick right across her big expensive desk
You d better call the Times and tell em put your wanted ad right back in classified
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
There s a greyhound at the station and a mom at home with open arms for me
Garden City s looking better every minute now since I have learned to see
And the boy next door don t know it but come June he s gonna gain himself a wife
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
Mr Walker it s all over I don t like the New York secretary s life
