Been a Long Day (Reprise)
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
How do you like your new job, Miss la Rue?
[HEDY, spoken]
It's a big fat nothing! I thought you were gonna help me become a big business woman like Helena Rubenstein or Betty Crocker. So what happens? I'm stuck in the goddamn stenographic pool with nobody to fish me the hell out!
[BUD, spoken]
Very attractive girl, Miss LaRue.
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Uh? Oh, ah, yes, I guess so. I was just trying to make her feel at home. She seems to be a rather shy person.
[BUD, spoken]
Yes, well, you go ahead, J.B.. I'm meeting mother for dinner. She loves having dinner with me. I tell her everything that happens all day at the office...

Now he's thinking:
[BIGGLEY]
The kid could really put me through hell
[BUD]
And she's thinking:
[HEDY]
The kid could even name the hotel
[BUD]
Now he's thinking:
[BIGGLEY]
I wonder if he'd dare
[BUD]
And she's thinking:
[HEDY]
There's blackmail in the air
[BUD]
And he says:
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
It's a hold-up.
[BUD]
And she says:
[HEDY, spoken]
Down!
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Wait a minute! Okay, you're promoted.
[ALL]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long
Been a long
Been a long day
[BUD]
Well, it's been a long
Been a long
Been a long
Been a long day
Ha!
