The Factory Girls / Come Up to My Office
[MARY]
He calls my name
I turn my head
He got no words to say
His eyes get big
My face gets red
And I want to run away
And he looks...
And I wait...
And he smiles...
[IOLA STOVER]
He'll call my name
I'll turn my head
He got no words to say
His eyes get big
My face gets red
And I want to run away
[IOLA, GIRLS]
I'll feel his breath He'll call my name
Back of my neck I'll turn my head
His hand against my chair He got no words to say
I'll punch the clock His eyes get big
Pick up my check My face gets red
It seems like he's always there And I want to run away
[IOLA, ESSIE, MONTEEN]
I'm in the hall I'm in the lounge
And then he's there I turn around
He passes much too close He passes much too close
I change my clothes I eat my lunch
Put up my hair I hear sound
[ALL THREE GIRLS]
And somehow, I'm sure he knows
And I turn
And he smiles
And he says:
[LEO]
Why don'tcha come up to office?
Got a couple o' things you might like to see
Why don'tcha you come up to my office
'Bout 2:15 'til a quarter to 3?
If you could maybe swing by, honey
Well, you know it'd be okay with me
If you came, if you came, if you came
If you came to my office
Why don'tcha come up to office?
I got a bottle o' wine and the cork ain't popped!
Why don'tcha come up to office
Where it's nice and cool when the blinds are dropped?
If you could maybe swing by, honey
We'll pretend that bad ol' clock has stopped
If you came, if you came, if you came
If you came to my office?
I know this new dance that they're doin' in Manhattan
I'll get you dancin' like you've never done before!
And I'll give you things that they sent me from Manhattan
And if you like, well, I got more—
Hell, I got more!
Come on and come up to my office
Got a fine fried chicken with biscuits for two!
Come on and come up to my office
Got lots of things that we both can do!
Just take a break and swing by, honey—
No one has to know but me and you
That you came, that you came, that you came, that you came
When you came, when you came, when you came, when you came
If you came, if you came, if you came, if you came
So come on! Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up to my...
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up to my...
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up?
Come on and come up?
Come on and come up?
Come on and come up?
Come up and come on...

He calls my name

His face gets red

And... he smiles
