Harry Bogen. How You Doing?

Harry Bogen, how ya doin'?

That was me then, this is me now

And what I am now is a shipping clerk

Which is frankly not that different from what I was then

I push racks of dresses around ten square blocks of charmless real estate in Manhattan called the Garment District

I do this twelve hours a day, six days a week

In exchange for which, I am paid the munificent sum

Of fifteen bucks

Except not for the last two weeks

'Cause my fellow shipping clerks and I have been on strike

No work, no pay

This room I'm in now is a waiting room

One way or another, the waiting is about to end
