E              A7
She called me up today
G       D/F#        E7
Meet me down at the old café
           A7
I jumped into the shower
G     D/F#       E7
I was getting my marching orders

Chorus:
D          Dsus4
We need to talk
D          Dsus4 D   G D/F#
Step into my office, baby
D                     F
I wanna give you the job
    C       G/B  F
A chance of overtime
     B7          E7
Say, my place at nine?

She'd never stand for any lies
She's got an Out Tray full of guys
I could sense a breath, a whole new feeling
Now she says she wants to call a meeting

Chorus

       Am       D
I'm a slave to work
          G             B7              Em       A
I'm only living when I walk amongst the office staff
              D               B7
And catch up with the office wag
            E      F#m
I'll be in bed by nine
    G#m       A
My curtains drawn
                E
My thoughts composed
  F#m             B
I get to work on time

She gave me some dictation
But my strength is in administration
I took down all she said
I even took down her little red dress

Chorus:
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I want to give you the job
I'm pushing for a raise
I've been pushing now for days

Em           A
My output is in decline
                 G       C   A
I was burned out after Thatcher
E                D6
My banner I laid down with a sigh
A                   G     C     A
Now I doubt if I'll ever catch her

I've got to change my ways
Dress for business every day
A smart suit and a kipper tie
A big arrow pointing to my fly

Have you shaved for work yet, baby?
Don't go out, the boss is waiting

Chorus:
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I want to give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?
