Been a Long Day (Reprise)
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Well, how do you like your new job, Miss LaRue?
[HEDY, spoken]
It's a big fat nothing!
I thought you were gonna help me become a big business woman
Like Helena Rubenstein or Betty Crocker
So what happens?
I'm stuck in the goddamn stenographic pool
With nobody to fish me the hell out!
[BUD, spoken]
Very attractive girl, Miss LaRue
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Huh?
Oh, ah, yes, I guess so
I was just trying to make her feel at home
She seems to be a rather shy person
[BUD, spoken]
Yes, well, you go ahead, J.B.
I'm meeting mother for dinner
She loves having dinner with me
I tell her everything that happens all day at the office
[BUD]
Now he's thinking
[BIGGLEY]
The kid could really put me through hell
[BUD]
And she's thinking
[HEDY]
The kid could even name the hotel
[BUD]
Now he's thinking
[BIGGLEY]
I wonder if he'd dare
[BUD]
And she's thinking
[HEDY]
There's blackmail in the air
[BUD]
And he says
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
It's a hold-up
[BUD]
And she says
[HEDY, spoken]
Down!
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Wait a minute!
Okay, you're promoted
[BUD, BIGGLEY & HEDY]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[BUD]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long
Been a long day
[BUD, spoken]
Ha!
