How to Succeed in Business - Been A Long Day (Reprise) Lyrics

2011 Broadway revival
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying the Musical - Been A Long Day (Reprise) Lyrics


The song is written by Frank Loesser.

J.B. BIGGLEY (spoken)
How do you like your new job, Miss LaRue?

HEDY LARUE (spoken)
It's a big fat nothing!
I thought you were gonna help me become a big business woman
like Elina Rubenstein or Betty Crocker.
So what happens?
I'm stuck in the goddamn [?] pool with nobody to fish me the hell out!

BUD (spoken)
Very attractive girl, Miss LaRue

J.B. BIGGLEY (spoken)
Uh? Oh, ah, yes, I guess so.
I was just trying to make her feel at home.
She seems to be a rather shy person

BUD (spoken)
Yes, well, you go ahead, J.B..
I'm meeting mother for dinner.
She loves having dinner with me.
I tell her everything that happens all day at the office...

(sung)
Now he's thinking

J.B. BIGGLEY
The kid could really put me through hell

BUD
And she's thinking

HEDY LARUE
The kid could even name the hotel

BUD
Now he's thinking

J.B. BIGGLEY
I wonder if he'd dare

BUD
And she's thinking

HEDY LARUE
There's blackmail in the air

BUD
And he says

J.B. BIGGLEY (spoken)
It's a hold-up

BUD
And she says

HEDY LARUE (spoken)
Down!

J.B. BIGGLEY (spoken)
Wait a minute! Okay, you're promoted

ALL
Well, it's been a long
Been a long
Been a long
Been a long day

BUD
Well, it's been a long
Been a long
Been a long
Been a long day
Ha!
