| Song | People Say a Lot |
| Artist | Carly Simon |
| Album | This Kind Of Love |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| Lining up sideways around the block | |
| 'It's not for the money' she say to you | |
| Almost convincing herself that it's true | |
| 'I'll take care of your dog when you're away' | |
| 'I don't mind working Saturdays' | |
| 'When you wanna work I'll work with you', she say | |
| 'And I'll go on working when you wanna play' | |
| 'Nothing gonna hurt you when I'm around' | |
| 'I'll keep my eyes wide open and my nose to the ground' | |
| 'I'll be like a mama with a baby cub' | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| When you begin to see a sinister gleam | |
| You're locked in too tight on the same team | |
| There's a little holiday in her heart | |
| When she sees you slip up, Ahhhhh | |
| It's like Christmas Eve just to see you trip up | |
| Ooops, then down again | |
| She'll sit on the floor hardly hiding a grin | |
| When her tears spill out, crocodile chagrin | |
| It's her contempt for you, she thinks you're a slob | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| Greatest cook to bring a meal (didn't need a recipe) | |
| Said she'll also deal the cards (dealt the knave and two and three) | |
| Said she also feel the thrill of the willow in the wind | |
| (feel the thrillo the willow---- or oak or elm or ash or pine sol) | |
| It's already too late when she's reading your mail | |
| Calling your agent and making the deal | |
| She'll just copy and paste it and make it last | |
| Nothing is sacred about your past | |
| She'll tell of the poppies in the July fest | |
| Maybe her brother with the badge can make the arrest | |
| 'You could go to jail, fail all the tests' | |
| 'Forget your keys and your secrets and your little black box' | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| She was awfully good at fire (fiery fiery hussy burn) | |
| She burned bridges where she could (she really couldn't burn them very well) | |
| She turned young men into torches (burning scarecrow) | |
| She had a way with wood (do away with wood, do away with wood) | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| Lining up eager around the block | |
| Promising, promising never to quit | |
| Well it's a full time job to be a hypocrite | |
| Maybe they remember that they've done it before | |
| Practicing, with their dolls on the floor | |
| The lie itself becoming the seed | |
| The messy mascara, the future deed | |
| The actor's bow, the junkie's need | |
| They line up again just to wipe you clean | |
| They line up again just to wipe you out | |
| Line up again around the block | |
| A mighty force of youth for hire | |
| Spouting ideas that geniuses would rob ohhhhh | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, oh | |
| People say a lot when they want the job, ah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job. yeah | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| People say a lot when they want the job | |
| 'Tell me Phoebe, do you want someday to have an award like that of your own?' | |
| 'More than anything else in the world' | |
| 'Then you must ask Miss Harrington how to get one | |
| …Miss Harrington knows all about it' |
| People say a lot when they want the job, yeah | |
| Lining up sideways around the block | |
