"Around Here" from "Nine to Five"

VIOLET
You gotta know what to do
You gotta do it in a hurry

Gotta hustle
Gotta bustle
Gotta scoot
You gotta scurry

'Cause we got no time to fool around around here.

WOMEN
Around here

VIOLET
You gotta get it right on the first try, honey,
Cause each mistake means they're losing lots of money,

VIOLET & WOMEN
And we got no time to waste a dime around here.

VIOLET
Here's your memograph
And the carb and paper
There's your intercom
There's the phone and there's the stapler

Got your shredder,
Got your letters,
Gonna type,
You gotta write.
Is that clear?

VIOLET & WOMEN
Is that clear?

VIOLET
You got your three-hole punch
and at noon take lunch
Keep it runnin'
keep it comin'
Gotta pump,
You gotta hump.
'Cause we got no time to fool around here.

{spoken} Follow me!

VIOLET
{spoken} Judy! This is Roz Keith, Mr. Hart's administrative assistant.

ROZ
{spoken}
Violet, I've been meaning to talk to you about Mr. Hart's rules regarding office decor.
No personal items on the desk. We mustn't look cluttered or sloppy.
An office that looks efficient...

VIOLET & ROZ
{spoken} ...is efficient.

ROZ
{spoken} I've typed up this memo, and you can post it on the bulletin board.

VIOLET
{spoken} Thanks, Roz! I know just where to stick it.
Dear old Roz is Mr. Hart's administrative eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
If you ever want to gossip in the ladies room, check under the stalls for feet first.

{singing}
You gotta know who to trust,
Better know it in a hurry,
No time for such a thing as your personal worries,
Gotta grow,
You gotta show,
Better keep it in tow around here.
