WOMAN, spoken
In 1974, Chicago radio broadcaster Studs Terkel published
a bestselling compilation of interviews with a cross section
of Americans talking about their jobs.
ALL, spoken
These are their words.
MAN 2
The mason singing
WOMAN 3
The waitress singing
WOMAN 1
The millworker singing
WOMAN 2
The manager singing
MAN 1
The fireman singing
ALL
Each one singing
WOMAN 3
The teacher
MAN 1
The trucker
WOMAN 2
The hooker
ALL
The housewife
I hear (I hear, I hear)
America singing
America singing
(All behind speaking over each other.
They recite lines from their interviews directly to the audience.)
MIKE, sung
Hey, somebody dont'cha wanna hear
The story of my life?
One of them movie companies
TV documentaries
Won't you come and ask me, please?
And pay me a million dollars
To tell you what I do at the store
'Cause if you pay me a million dollars
I wouldn't have to go and do it no more
ALL, shouted
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
ALL, sung
Just like the song say
All the livelong day
Everybody done know that song
Working for a living the whole day long
All the livelong day
Hey, somebody, won't you turn your head?
Take a look my way
WOMEN
I'm getting old and I tell you
MEN
Getting old ain't nothing new
MEN (WOMEN)
Stuck again (Stuck again)
With you know who
(With you know who)
Me and my old pal Monday (Monday)
Y'know, rain or shine, she'll be showing
(Rain or shine)
Me and my old pal Monday (Monday)
ALL
And another cup of coffee
Get the juices flowing
Another cup of coffee
Get the juices flowing
Another cup of coffee
Get the juices flowing
And it's one, two, three, get going!
Just like the song say
All the livelong day
Everybody done know that song
Working at a living the whole day long
All the livelong-

All the livelong day

Just like the song say

All the livelong day

Just like the song say

Just like the song say

Everybody done know that song
Working at a living the whole day long
All the livelong...
