THE WHITE COLLAR HOLLER Time: 2/4 Tenor: E Bass: E
- Nigel Russell, 1979
- Record: Stan Rogers: Between The Breaks (acapella)


1 * * *
Well, I rise up in the morning at a quarter to eight
* * 4 57
Some woman, who's my wife, tells me not to be late
1 * * *
I kiss the kids good-bye, I can't re-member their names
* * 6 57
And week after week, well it's always the same


CHORUS (AFTER EVERY VERSE):
* * * * 4 57
And it's ho boys___, can't you code it, ugh, and program it right
1 * * 57
Nothin' ever happens in this life of mine
1 * 57 1 * *
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line_______


1 * * *
Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
* * 4 57
Then cross-corre-late and a break for some lunch
1 * * *
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
* * 6 57
Program, printout, re-gress to the mean

1 * * *
Then it's home again, eat again, watch some T. V.
* * 4 57
Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three
1 * * *
I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night
* * 6 57
I'm flyin' over the hills, just like an eagle in flight

1 * * *
Some-day I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things
* * 4 57
I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring
1 * * *
Burn up my necktie and set myself free
* * 6 57
'Cause no-one's gonna fold, bend, or mutilate me
