Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The pajama game
Is the game I'm in
And I'm proud to be
In the pajama game
I love it
I can hardly wait
To wake and get to work at eight
Nothing's quite the same as the pajama game
I'm an executive
I'm a time-study man
I can tell you per second how many stitches go into a pair of pajamas
I can time anything
You'll see when we get down to the factory
Let her go
[Verse 2]
Hurry up, hurry up
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
[Verse 3]
When you're racing with the clock (Hurry up)
When you're racing with the clock (Hurry up)
And the second hand doesn't understand (Hurry up)
That your back may break and your fingers ache (Hurry up)
And your constitution isn't made of rock (Hurry up)
It's a losing race when you're racing with the (Hurry up)
Racing, racing, racing with the clock (Hurry up)
It's a losing race when you're racing with the (The clock)
Racing, racing, racing with the clock
[Verse 4]
Hurry up, girls
Seconds are ticking, seconds are ticking
[Verse 5]
Hurry up, hurry up
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
[Verse 6]
When you're racing with the clock (Can't waste time)
When you're racing with the clock (Can't waste time)
And the second hand doesn't understand (Can't waste time)
That your back may break and your fingers ache (Can't waste time)
And your constitution isn't made of rock
It's a losing race when you're racing with the (Can't waste time)
Racing, racing, racing with the clock (Can't waste time)
[Verse 7]
When will old man Hasler break down
And come up with that seven-and-a-half cent raise?
How in Hell can I buy me a swell new second-hand car
On that salary he pays?
Whaddaya you think of the new superintendent?
He's cute
He'll never last, ha!
He's kind of fresh for a new superintendent
I like a man with spunk
You like a man, period
Don't laugh, girls, don't laugh
Hurry up
Tempus fugit
Tempus fugit
Waste, waste, waste
Hurry up
[Verse 8]
Hurry up, hurry up
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
Hurry up (Can't waste time)
When you're racing with the clock
When you're racing with the clock
And the second hand doesn't understand
That your back may break and your fingers ache
And your constitution isn't made of rock
It's a losing race when you're racing with the
Racing, racing, racing with the clock
[Verse 9]
Can't waste time
[Verse 10]
Racing, racing, racing, racing
Racing, racing, racing, racing
Racing, racing, racing, racing
Racing, racing, racing, racing
Racing with the clock
