after working the whole day long
all I want is an ice-cold drink

each second crawls, a sluggish slink
as I wait for the lunchtime gong
to starve in line amid the throng
my break is over in a blink

after working the whole day long
all I want is an ice-cold drink

sometimes it seems that all goes wrong
I'm balanced on disaster's brink
into the mud I start to sink
my thoughts tipped with the devil's prong

after working the whole day long
all I want is an ice-cold drink

despite the limbo, I do think
there is a place that I belong
a home within the dance and song
even in this bleak retail inc.

after working the whole day long
all I want is an ice-cold drink
