📜 Lyrics
I left Garden City, Kansas with a ticket and a yen to see New York
I type eighty words a minute so your corporation lets me go to work
I bring paper clips and coffee, even
Help you dodge your domineering wife
But Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
In this building there's a crowd of guys
With old familiar thoughts upon their minds
And that's a lotta hands a-reaching out
To grab the things that I consider mine
And the president pursues me even though
He's old and a-hair a-turning white
But Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
There's a flat in Greenwich Village that
I took because the subway wasn't far
But a trumpet player's upstairs and
Below me there's a jumping all night bar
And to frost a bit of cake I have to
Share the place with bugs and big old mice
Oh, Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
Your sweetheart in personnel said I should
Give her written notice like the rest
I wrote goodbye with my brightest lipstick
Right across her big expensive desk
You'd better call the Times and tell '
Em put your wanted ad right back in classified
'Cause Mr. Walker, it's all over
I don't like the New York secretary's life
There's a Greyhound at the station and
A mom at home with welcome arms for me
Garden City's looking better every
Minute now since I have learned to see
And the boy next door don't know it but
Come June he's gonna gain himself a wife
Oh, Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life
I type eighty words a minute so your corporation lets me go to work
I bring paper clips and coffee, even
Help you dodge your domineering wife
But Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
In this building there's a crowd of guys
With old familiar thoughts upon their minds
And that's a lotta hands a-reaching out
To grab the things that I consider mine
And the president pursues me even though
He's old and a-hair a-turning white
But Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
There's a flat in Greenwich Village that
I took because the subway wasn't far
But a trumpet player's upstairs and
Below me there's a jumping all night bar
And to frost a bit of cake I have to
Share the place with bugs and big old mice
Oh, Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
Your sweetheart in personnel said I should
Give her written notice like the rest
I wrote goodbye with my brightest lipstick
Right across her big expensive desk
You'd better call the Times and tell '
Em put your wanted ad right back in classified
'Cause Mr. Walker, it's all over

Minute now since I have learned to see
And the boy next door don't know it but
Come June he's gonna gain himself a wife
Oh, Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't
Like the New York secretary's life
Mr. Walker, it's all over, I don't like the New York secretary's life
