hey joey

Driving to work and listening to Fountains of Wayne's Interstate Managers is a great way to start the day. Their lyrics are honest, easy to relate to and the tunes are catchy. I altered the song "Hey Julie" on my way to work this morning...

Hey Joey

Working all day for a mean little woman
With a Prada bag and a rub-on tan
She's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get home,
You're always there to rub my back

Hey Joey,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Joey, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around

Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face

Hey Joey,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Joey, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway

Working all day for a mean little gal
With a bad nose job and an abusive mouth
She's got me running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
She can tell me what to do
But she can't tell me what to feel

Hey Joey,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Joey, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around
