Girls: There's gotta be something better than this, There's gotta be something better to do. And when I find me something better to do, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out I'm gonna get up, get out and do it! There's gotta be some respectable trade, There's gotta be something easy to learn. And if I find me something I halfwit can learn, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out I'm gonna get up, get out and learn it! All these jokers, how I hate them With their groping, grabbing, clutching, clinching, Strangling, handling, bumbling, pinching There's gotta be some life cleaner than this, There's gotta be some good reason to live. And when I find me some kind of life I can live, I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna get up, get out and live it! Right!
--Nickie: I got it! I got it! I'm gonna be a receptionist In one of those glass office buildings Nine to five, I'm gonna have my own typewriter, And water cooling and office parties...

I'll receive VIP tycoons And I'll point to a chair I'll say: honey, what you're waiting? How would you like to put it down over there? All: Yeah!
There's gotta be something better than this, There's gotta be something better to do, And when I find me something better to do. I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out I'm gonna get up, get out and do it!
