How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying the Musical - Been A Long Day Lyrics
The song is written by Frank Loesser.
SMITTY
Well, here it is five P.M.
The finish of a long day's work.
And there they are both of them,
The secretary and the clerk.
Not very well acquainted.
Not very much to say
But I can hear those two little minds
Ticking away.
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
I wonder if we take the same bus.
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
That could be quite a thing between us.
SMITTY
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
He really is a dear.
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
But what of my career.
SMITTY
And she says:
ROSEMARY
Ah! hum...
SMITTY
And he says:
FINCH
A hum-hum...
Well it's been a long day.
ALL
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
SMITTY
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
I wish that he were more of a flirt.
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
I guess a little flirting won't hurt.
SMITTY
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
For dinner we could meet.
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
We both've gotta eat, ah....
SMITTY
And she says:
ROSEMARY
Atchoo...
SMITTY
And he says:
FINCH
Gesundheidt!
ROSEMARY
Thank you!
FINCH
Well, it's been a long day!
ALL
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
SMITTY
Hey!
There's a yummy Friday's special at Stouffer's.
It's dollar-ninety vegetable plate.
And on the bottom of the add,
Not bad, service for two,
Three-fifty eight,
To make a bargain, make a date.
ROSEMARY
Wonderful!
FINCH
It's fate!
SMITTY
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
What the female kind of trap could I spring?
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
I might is well forgot the whole thing.
SMITTY
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY
Suppose I take this arm...
SMITTY
And he's thinking:
FINCH
Well, really what's the harm?
SMITTY
And she says:
ROSEMARY
Hungry?
SMITTY
And he says:
FINCH
Yeah!
ROSEMARY
Yeah!
SMITTY
Yeah!
ALL
Well, it's been a long day!
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
COMPANY
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
