Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Monday Morning Secretary

She leaves home at eight, a little bit late

A little bit tired of it all, she unlocks the doors

And does so much more than what she gets credit for

She opens the mail straightens up without fail

Last Friday evening's mess, she makes brand new coffee

Though her head's hurtin' awfully, by nine she's looking her best

And Monday comes dawning the world wakes up yawning

And Friday seems so far away

But there bright and early Monday morning secretary

You sure do look pretty today, at ten there's a break

She don't always take, just time for a powder and smoke

A salesman comes in, looks her over end to end

And tells her a new dirty joke, she laughs off his pass

Like she's done in the past, she knows all those lines so well

Then at five she goes home to her cat and two rooms

And cries 'cause she's lonely as hell

And Monday comes dawning, the world wakes up yawning

And Friday seems so far away

But there bright and early Monday morning secretary

You sure do look pretty today, you sure do look pretty today
