lyrics

They told me “Philly, baby, God, he give you
a gift!”
Go give yourself away after the late-night shift
And pony up the money that the company sent
After visa and Mohela and the Somerville rent

One make a dollar
One make a crime
It’s gonna take a minute, you on company time
Tell the next caller
“Hold on the line,”
It’s gonna take a minute, you on company time

I told my baby, “Baby, I been giving it thought,
We gotta get away before our tails get caught”
My baby told me “Baby, I been feeling the same
But I can’t throw in the towel
I got skin in the game

One leave you taller,
One leave you blind,
It gonna take a minute, you on company time
Midnight Mahlers,
Cooped and confined:
Tomorrow and tomorrow into company time

Oo oo, company time . . .
oo oo, company time . . .
Oo oo, company time . . .
Oo oo, company company—

I got a little secret just for you and for me
Don’t blame it on the weather or KGB
You want it you go get it, nothing else to report
Just as long as I depend on your financial support
One take a tumble,
One make a climb
(You’re never gonna get it, you on company time)
Keep your ass playing “Making a Dime”
If it happens it’ll happen after company time

Oo oo, company time . . .
oo oo, company time . . .
Oo oo, company time . . .
Oo oo, company company—
