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
