I woke up this mornin’
Commuted to work
Said any more filing
Would drive me berserk
I got to the office
I looked at my desk
Man this filin’s got me so damn depressed
I don’t know, if I can take it anymore
Won’t you please, please, please, please, please
Please tell me what it’s all for
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, ‘cause you see
I got them paper-shufflin’ filin’ blues
I took out the garbage
And I got into bed
But I can’t keep this filin’
Out of my head
And when I start dreamin’
You know what it’s about
It’s all that damn filin’ I just can’t keep out
I don’t know (I don’t know), if I can take it anymore
Won’t you please, please, please, please, please
Please tell me what it’s all for
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, ‘cause you see
I got them organizin’ filin’ blues
I don’t know (I don’t know, I don’t know), if I can take it anymore
Won’t you please, won’t you please, won’t you please, won’t you please, won’t you please
Please tell me what it’s all for
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, ‘cause you see
I got them detail-oriented filin’ blues
Filin’ blues
Ooh, I got them filin’ blues
Filin’ blues
I got them filin’ blues
‘Til late every evenin’
I’m still workin’ hard
I can’t read them numbers ‘cause I’m so goddamn tired
And when I get home now
I can’t get to sleep
‘cause I start countin’ files instead of sheep
I don’t know (I don’t know, I don’t know), if I can take it anymore
Won’t you please, please, please, please, please
Please tell me what it’s all for
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, ‘cause you see
I got them paper-shufflin’, organizin’, stultifyin’, patience-tryin’, aggravatin’, boss-I’m-hatin’
Detail-oriented filin’ blues
Oh yeah
