Give it up for the workin’ girl, all alone in a crowded world, so busy, so worried/savin’ up for the one day off, call it in before you’ve had enough, forgetful, forgive me/sing, smile, it’s tradition, sexy, styling, your admission, ticket taker, I’m no faker/take it way, take it away, all that’s done, all that’s made up of love and mistakes/take it away, take it away, all that’s gone, all my strength at the end of the day/give it up for the topsy turv, feet flat on a not so sure, I’m dizzy, I’m falling, all I want to do is run away, not now I’ve got bills to pay, I love you, I love you/sink,swim, you’ll get dirty, blood and guts and well past thirty, ticket taker, I’m no faker/turn it up before the song is done, far away with my earphones on, turn away when you talk like that, talk back but I’m not a brat, stop laughing, stop laughing
