Hey, boss!
Hey, boss!
Hey, boss!
I come in early, I work hard
I'm always here way after dark
A little recognition would be fine
And kind
Hey, boss, it's time I called you out
You're rude, you're crude, you're mean and loud
I work my tail off, you take credit
And pinch my every dime!
In the words of Aretha, give me some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
How dare he make me train a man
And put him ahead of me
It's plain to see that women
Are what you truly fear
So like them, I'll keep fighting
For the rights that I hold dear
Hey, boss!
Now I'm the new girl on the scene
You don't have to be so mean
I learn fast, I'm eager, and I'm smart
Yes, I'm smart
Now I might be a little shy
But that don't mean you have the right
To treat me like a fool and break my heart!
In the words of Aretha, give me some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
You seem to get your joy
Humiliating me
Now I'm just asking for a chance
Is that too much to ask?
Will you allow a few mistakes
You hateful horse's ass?
Hey, boss!
Okay, it's my turn
Wow
Look, man, don't get me wrong
I've always had one of my own
And I've known some really good ones
But then there's you
Pee-yew!
I'd like some praise and equal pay
But he don't see it that way
To you, I'm just a skirt in high-heeled shoes
Come on!
In the words of Aretha, give me some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
And not only in your dreams
Where you fall asleep and dream
And he thought he didn't need it
So I'll say what I think of it
Come on!
In the words of Johnny Paycheck
I'd say take this job and shove it!
Hey, boss!
Hey, boss!
Hey, boss, you better get better at treating us better than you do
Hey, boss, what if we should all decide not to all walk out on you?
Hey, boss, you better start shaping up
Or it's gonna be your loss
If the girls are gone, who'll you call on?
Hey, boss! Hey, boss! Hey, boss!
In the words of Aretha, give me some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Now I'm no Mother Teresa, but I'll be all I can be!
I'm not asking for a pedestal
And I'm not your footstool
Or a chair that you can sit on
We've got to change the rules
Hey, boss, no more discriminating, leaving waiting
We're still waiting
I've paid my dues
Me too
Me too
Hey, it's up to you
What you gonna do?
Hey, I'm talking to you, you, you
Hey, boss!
