Ugly Duckling - I Wanna Go Home Lyrics
What time is it?It 6:47 AM when I look at the clock and cough6:50, the alarm goes offI stumble to the shower, brush my teethAnd get dressed as I try to find something to eatI spot a cookie in the kitchen drawerAnd at 7:34 I'm out the doorSitting in traffic, no escapeI'm gonna be late, work starts at 8I check my watch and it's 8:03Finally I arrive at the j-o-bI get to my desk, what's this mess?New projects? I'm already stressedI sit stunned till 8:15By 8:31 I'm ready to scream22 messages on my phoneI just got here and I wanna go homeI wanna go home9:30, my stomach is startin to acheBut I have to wait a half hour for my breakBless, somebody just called in sickCoughin and wheezin, yup, the whole shtickMore work for me, it's 10:42Someone says, "The boss wants to see you"At 10:47 I'm gettin yelled atI was gonna yell back but my voice fell flatI'm still ( ? ) at 11:39And that's when I'm told they cut my lunch timeMandatory meeting and all I can do is groanI wanna go homeI wanna go home(You got to have a jobyour feet on the table)(You got to have a jobto keep the family able)(How long until I can go home?)The afternoon's draggin, it's 2:02When I'm laggin, avoidin what I'm s'posed to doA co-worker gets on my caseTellin me I need to smile, I hate this placeAt 3 o'clock I walk outsideStandin by the backdoor try to hideGotta make it till five, then I escape3:30, they ask me to stay lateFirst I say, "Sure," then I say, "Wait"I can't, I've got an appointment to makeThen, at 4:10 they ask againThe manager's actin like he's my friendHmm, let me think about it - noI'm ready to go, see you tomorrowIt's 5 o'clock on the dot so you gotta leave me aloneIt's time to go home
