Текст песне : Meryn Cadell. Angel Food For Thought. Job Application.

I?d like to apply for a job, yes, the job you have available
My manner is most saleable, and I hope you?ll find me suitable
for $5.15 an hour.
I really have the skills, you see, I?ve been to university
and though I studied history I?ve found my heart to truly be
in mens ties and socks, glass figurines, the discount shoe industry.
What makes me think I?d be good for this job?
Well, I love working with people ...
And I love riding the subway an hour and a half each way, let?s see
add those hours to my day, and I?ll be making a whopping.... $3.75 an hour!
No, sir ? I do, I do want the job. Can?t you tell by my suit?
No, actually, I don?t own a dress. I don?t feel comfortable, I confess.
But hell, for $5.15 an hour,
I?ll endeavour to wear some colours other than black.
I enjoy working with the public, and I?m good with money ...
Oh yes, you?re right, all us girls are good with money,
Yes that?s charming, yes how funny.
I like a good work atmosphere where the boss says whatever he wants
and the rest of us just listen
I?m a very fast learner and I promise that if you give me this job
I?ll be the perfect subhuman and never let my contempt shine
in my worshipping eyes...
I love working with people and let?s see what else was I going to tell you ..
No, I don?t expect vacation pay and yes I?m available every day
and though I don?t like the evil way you?re looking at me,
I?ve got rent to pay.
And yes I can start on Saturday
