Happy Secretary's Day

Drops the ball making a simple call
That's your secretary
Makes no friend of an angry vendor
That's your secretary
So throw on some jeans and go down to Walgreens
It's open late
Get him a card or a small candy bar
He'll feel great
Chorus:
Happy secretary's day
Surf the internet or smoke a cigarette
It's all okay
Happy secretary's day
You're his boss and you don't clown around
But you gotta get down for your secretary
Gets to work in a wrinkled shirt
That's your secretary
Touch his thigh and he starts to cry
That's your secretary
So now's the time to show what's on your mind
Not just profit and loss
For just a minute put your whole heart in
The role of friendly boss

Good Old Boss
04:33
|

He don't lie, he don't cry
He don't cheat on his wife
He learned from his dad to be a good lad
In his personal life
It keeps the little man off your scent
So he never knows the cost
Of the backroom deals and midnight meals
That feed the good old boss
When his neighbors pick a fight
He tears their houses down
But he's the man with the progressive plan
When he goes out of town
And you might have a future
If you grab on boss's coat
But first you got to help the boss
Get out the boss's vote
Now a vote for good old boss
Ain't a vote for you or me
But he helps the businessman
And then he plants a little tree
One fine day you'll tell your kids
About the way we lived
Under a boss with so much to take
And so much to give
He gave away our parking meters
And before he could get tossed
He ran off the stage at a moderate age
What a good old boss

Boss Man

Hey boss man look in my eyes
Anything you recognize?
Look past my uniform and the duties that I perform
Boss man don't you criticize me
I am what you once could be
Singing my songs and living free
Sleeping in late and smoking tea.
Hey Boss Man looky over here
It's me grinning ear to ear
Putting on a show like an underpaid clown
Money makes the world go 'round
It's the Boss Man here, don't get me wrong
I hear what you're saying, dawg
One thing you must understand:
You're in a band and I don't give a damn
I run this motherfucker, don't you see?
And you better mop this floor for me
If you're quite through, you're still on the clock
'Cause there's another of you down the block
Hey hipster looky over here
It's me grinning ear to ear
Brand new car, full payment down
Money makes my world go 'round
Na na, na na na na
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you

Baby Teeth recommends:
Back On The Music!
by Paul Cherry
I adore his oddball jazz/pop sensibility. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision someone bringing early-80's lite-jazz influences (hello Michael Franks!) to cool indie kids. PAUL DID IT!!
go to album
Dreamer is out of this world. Amazing mix of influences. There are bangers here, but also laid-back soul, itchy indie guitar, and sharp political critique. Check "Cookout"!
go to album
Awesomely ambitious record, incorporating Kinks, Bowie, and T. Rex, with super-groovy avant-garde production. Love the vision and can't wait to see where they go next.
