1. Spoken:
hi-ho, hi-ho, hi hi ho ho
we gotta work, so here we go!

Oh man,
Gotta go to work again
Get up early, be on time
or it’s another reprimand
Oye vey,
I wear pumps everyday
but I love when Friday comes,
‘cause that’s when it’s casual day
Oh no,
This job has got to go
If it’s all about commissions
how’s’ my career suppose to grow?
Aw gee,
Give me back my life, please
There must be some other job
that keeps me off my damn knees
(Sung:  oo, Hi Ho –echoed and repeated) 

Hi ho, hi ho
It’s off to work we go
Gotta make a living so
we can pay those bills we owe
Gotta make a lotta doe
before the weekend shows
so get to work
(Spoken: but I wanna dance)

On this great, great earth that we all share and live upon
we feel we need something to do, so we can feel like we belong.

Spoken:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your first day here at orientation. Remember, this company wants nothing else but to know that you and our customers are satisfied… giving us your lives and all their money.

CHORUS
Sung:
If you wanna eat
You gotta work for a livin’
And if you wanna roof
and you like what you’re drivin’
And if you wanna play
And you live for the weekend
Then let’s work
(Spoken: but I wanna dance)
This is how we live
trying to fill our own plate
We live half of our lives
at work, for Christ’s’ sake
and the weekends all we’ve got
to relief the heart ache
so let’s work
(Spoken: but I wanna dance)

All night long
or all day long
there’s someone
working on
There’s nothin’ we can do
We’re all prisoners of the hammer or pen
All I need
is some money
to help me
stay happy
then when the weekends over
we just start it all over again

2. Spoken:
hi-ho, hi-ho, hi hi-ho ho,
hi ho-hi ho, to work we go!

Ok
Will my clients come through today?
If I don’t meet my quota
Then I just won’t see no pay
Aw gee,
We’re outta coffee?
Don’t want any more - herbal tea
Oo, where’s the bathroom key?
Oh boy,
there’s no time for fun or play
In my cubicle I stare
at my monitor all day. -uh
This sucks
I just wanna make a buck
Everyone else gets all the luck
So who around here do I have to F___!
(Sung:  oo, Hi Ho -echoed and repeated) 

Sung:
Hi ho, hi ho
It’s off to work we go
Gotta make a living so
we can pay those bills we owe
Gotta make a lotta doe
before the weekend shows
so get to work
(Spoken: but I wanna dance)

On this great, great earth that we all share and live upon
get trapped - in a job - we soon hate, cause some don’t care if we don’t belong.

Spoken:
You work hard and been a great asset to this company, sure, but your sale have gone down in the past quarter. We have to replace you, but don’t worry, we have something else for you downstairs. Remember; help us - help you - help us.

(CHORUS)
Spoken: Well? Can I dance now? 
…Dance. (Sung: Hi Ho –echoed and repeated)
