Around Here9 to 5 Original Broadway Cast

(Violet)
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
Around here, around here

You gotta get it right on the first try, honey
'Cause each mistake means they're losin' lots of money
And we got no time to waste a dime
Around here

Here's your mimeograph and the carbon paper
There's your intercom, there's the phone and there's the 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
Around here
Follow me!

(Ensemble)
You gotta know what to do, you gotta do it in a hurry
Gotta hustle, gotta bustle, gotta scoot, you gotta scury
'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 -

(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 -"

(Roz & Violet)
"-is efficient."

(Roz)
I've typed up this memo. You can post it on the bulletin board

(Violet)
Thanks Roz. I know just where to stick it

Dear old Roz is Mr. Hart's administrative eye, ears, nose, and throat. If you ever want to gossip in the ladies' room, check under the stall for feet first

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)
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
