Violet:
You gotta know what to do
You gotta do it in a hurry;
Gotta hustle, gotta bustle, gotta scoot, gotta hurry
'Cause we got no time
To fool around
Around here, Around here
You gotta get it right on the first try, honey
Cause each mistake means they're losing lots of money, and
We got no time
To waste a dime
Around here
Here's your mimeograph and the carbon paper
There's the intercom, there's your phone, and here's your stapler
Got your shredder, got your letters
Gonna type, you gotta write
Is that clear? Is that clear?
Got your three-hole punch
And at noon, take lunch
Keep it runnin', keep it comin'
Gotta pump, you gotta hump 'cause we
Got no time
To fool around here
(spoken):
Follow me!
Ensemble:
You gotta know what to do
You gotta do it in a hurry;
Gotta hustle, gotta bustle, gotta scoot, gotta hurry!
'Cause we got no time to fool around, around here
Around here
Punch in when you enter
Punch out when you leave
Do exactly as you're told
No excuses please!
No, we don't play or make mistakes around -
(Spoken)
Roz:
Violet! Oh, Violet!
Violet:
Judy, this is Roz Keith, Mr. Hart's administrative assistant
Roz:
Violet, I've been meaning to talk to you about Mr. Hart's rules regarding office decor. No personal items on the desk. We
Mustn't look cluttered and sloppy. "An office that looks efficient-
Violet & Roz:
- is efficient."
Roz:
I've typed up this memo. You can stick it on the bulletin board
Violet:
Thanks, Roz. I know just where to stick it. Dear old Roz is Mr. Hart's administrative eyes, ears, nose and throat. If you
Ever want to gossip in the ladies' room, check under the stall for feet first
(sung):
You gotta know who to trust
Better know it in a hurry!
No time for such a thing as your personal worries
Gotta grow, you gotta show, gotta keep it in tow
Around here!
Let's recap...
Ensemble:
Around here!
Judy:
Know who to trust and know it in a hurry
Ensemble:
Around here!
Judy:
No time for any personal worries
Ensemble:
Around here!
Violet:
No laughing, no jokes, and mind the dress codes
All:
Is that clear!? Around here!
No chats, no snacks, no clutter on the desks
Around here!
No breaks, no personal effects
Violet:
It's all about the job
And getting it done
Around here
All:
You gotta know what to do
You gotta do it in a hurry;
Gotta hustle, gotta bustle, gotta scoot, you gotta scurry
'Cause we got no time to fool around
'Round here
Around here
Do what you gotta do, no time to dilly-dally!
No time to bend the rules
'Cause they're the ones who keep the tally
And we got no time to fool around
Around here, not around here-
Got no time at all to fool around
Around here!
Violet:
Get it?
Judy:
Got it
Violet:
Good!
