THE FACTORY
I work at the factory,
get off today at a half past three
I need the time alone and
five O’clocks too far away…
I wish that you could work
with me, over here at the factory
Cause I’m getting tired of
this every single day
Josh works at the factory,
general manager and plant V.P.
He’s got a family
and fought the war in Vietnam
And Joey’s bulkin’ tabs with me,
workin’ hard at the factory
We’ll stack some kilos and play
ball when josh is gone… cause
I work at the factory, get off
today at a half past three
I need the time alone
and five O’clock’s too far away…
I wish that you could work with me,
over here at the factory
Cause I’m getting tired of this every single day
After lunch I‘ll talk to Steve,
telling jokes in the factory
In the tiny break room that
continuously gets small
A dozen guys all want to eat,
in that little room in the factory
But now the new addition
has positioned two new walls… and
I work at the factory, get off today
at a half past three
I need the time alone and
five O’clock’s too far away…
I wish that you could work with me,
over here at the factory
Cause I’m getting tired
of this every single day
My girlfriend is mad at me,
says I’m living at the factory
She gets upset but she’s still
cute when she’s perturbed
But soon my time will all be free,
no more need for the factory
And I’ll have lots of money which
I plan to spend with her… and
I work at the factory, get off
today at a half past three
I need the time alone and
five O’clock’s too far away…
I wish that you could work with me,
over here at the factory
Cause I’m getting tired of
this every single day
And I work at that factory,
get off today at a half past three
I need the time alone
and five O’clock is seeming so way off
and I Wish that you could work with me,
but there’s no room in the factory
In fact, I’ve only been back two
short weeks since I got laid off
