I Wanna Work For You
(c) 2009 by Alexa Weber Morales
I wanna know where the meeting is
Take me to your leader
I'll tell her everything she wants to hear
I'll make the coffee sweeter
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you
My resume never used to fail
Now every door is slammed harder
I guess you think I know too much
But hey, I'll make you look smarter
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you
I used to watch the sailboats on my lunch break
I used to wonder if someday I'd catch my wave
But everyone was right and I was so wrong
Who was I to think that you would buy this song?
I got laid off and I became a troubadour
I sang with the baby on my hip
Please take me back, put me behind the Levolors
I can't buy breakfast with my wit
Won't you allow me to do your PowerPoint
I'm quite happy flying coach
I'll bring you 8 am Croissanwiches
I'll stay late without reproach
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna wear a suit, I wanna work for you
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna be a suit, I wanna work for you
Ain't nobody else who can do the job I do
I wanna count your beans, I wanna work for you

I'll admit I was dubious about the lyrics on the page (overfamiliarity with the back story), but I really liked the song and how well the words work with the melody and voice. Funny and real. Very, very winning song. Next scenario: You walk into a job interview, spread your arms-- ta-da--and break into a full-on performance. (Maybe you could take along a boombox for the background.) What employer could resist? ("I want to count your beans...." Absolute clincher.)
