Song by Helen Gallagher<br /><br>

Girls:<br>

There's gotta be something better than this,<br>

There's gotta be something better to do.<br>

And when I find me something better to do,<br>

I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out<br>

I'm gonna get up, get out and do it!<br>

There's gotta be some respectable trade,<br>

There's gotta be something easy to learn.<br>

And if I find me something I halfwit can learn,<br>

I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out<br>

I'm gonna get up, get out and learn it!<br>

All these jokers, how I hate them<br>

With their groping, grabbing, clutching, clinching,<br>

Strangling, handling, bumbling, pinching<br>

There's gotta be some life cleaner than this,<br>

There's gotta be some good reason to live.<br>

And when I find me some kind of life I can live,<br>

I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out,<br>

I'm gonna get up, get out and live it!<br>

Right! <br>

Nickie:<br>

I got it! I got it! <br>

I'm gonna be a receptionist<br>

In one of those glass office buildings<br>

Nine to five, I'm gonna have my own typewriter,<br>

And water cooling and office parties...<br>

Ooooh, and coffee breaks...wow!<br>

Then I sit on my desk on the forty-first floor<br>

In my copy of a copy of a copy of Dior!<br>

I'll receive VIP tycoons<br>

And I'll point to a chair<br>

I'll say: honey, what you're waiting?<br>

How would you like to put it down over there?<br>

All:<br>

Yeah!<br>

There's gotta be something better than this,<br>

There's gotta be something better to do,<br>

And when I find me something better to do.<br>

I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out<br>

I'm gonna get up, get out and do it!<br>

Helene:<br>

Me too...Me too!<br>

I'm gonna get a year to go right to the top<br>

I'm gonna be a hat chat girl<br>

At one of the East Side, high class restaurants<br>

You know, a tray of cigarettes,<br>

Costing 66 cents a pack and keep the change?<br>

And all those hats coming in<br>

Dirbies, humbirds...<br>

Ooooh! And that cute little checked number<br>

With that skinny brim and a feather<br>

Take your hat, sir!<br>

Take your coat, sir!<br>

Take your vest, sir!<br>

Take your pants!<br>

Take your socks, sir!<br>

Take your shoes, sir!<br>

I can hold them while you dance<br>

Take your eyes, sir!<br>

Take your ears, sir!<br>

Take and see if you are free<br>

How about it after hours<br>

I'll take you and you'll take me!<br>

Charity:<br>

Me too...I'm gonna get out too!<br>

Nickie:<br>

But, baby, what would you do?<br>

Charity:<br>

I don't know...Just get me out of here and I'll figure out later!<br>

There's gotta be some life cleaner than this<br>

There's gotta be some good reason to live<br>

All:<br>

And when I find me some kind of life I can live<br>

I'm gonna get up...<br>

I'm gonna get out...<br>

La la la la la la ...<br>

How wow how wow<br>

And when I find me some kind of life I can live<br>

I'm gonna get up...<br>

I'm gonna get up...<br>

I'm gonna get up, get out and live it!<br>

<br>
