Ruthie got a job
And nothing went right
She woke up in a nervous sweat
In the middle of the night
And every morning
Of every day
Ruthie she would end up crying, Lord
And the boss would come and say
Hey if youre gonna lose your mind
Dont do it on company time
Aw girl youre gonna lose some pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time
Ruthies got a kid
And he just turned two
Late last year his daddy walked out
Said "Now its all up to you"
The sitter called
Has to leave pretty soon
Ruthie asked her boss would it be alright
To go home this afternoon
Hey if youre always in a bind
Dont do it on company time
Aw girl youre gonna lose some pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time
Now Ruthies upstairs
On the seventh floor
Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the Board
And every morning on the speakerphone
The Chairman says "Ruthie youre driving me crazy
Can we be alone"
Hey if you wanna lose your mind
Lets do it on company time
Aw girl were gonna raise your pay
If you wanna behave that way
On company time, on company time
On company time, on company time
