She's independent
She's a modern woman
She needs no prompting
On her should 'n' shouldn't
It's always bosses
Who wish that she wouldn't
[Verse Riff B x3] G||-----------------------| D||-----------------------| A||--4----4----4----------| E||---------------6--4----|
Files in the cabinet so neatly numerical
[Verse Riff C x2] G||-----------------------| D||--4----4----4----------| A||---------------6--4----| E||-----------------------|
Makes all the clients so neatly alphabetical

Turn of 21
She's looking at her map (looking at her map)
And looking at her watch (looking at her watch)
Bags on the rack (bags on the rack)
Seems like she's there

There for her service
Comfy red Granada
Up to the Midlands
With a taped Sinatra
Plans all the hotels
And airway charter
[Verse Riff B x3] G||-----------------------| D||-----------------------| A||--4----4----4----------| E||---------------6--4----|
Found under covers with some representative
[Verse Riff C x2] G||-----------------------| D||--4----4----4----------| A||---------------6--4----| E||-----------------------|

Shorthands a letter
Heading on the paper
Slimline her lunchbreak
Will it ever make her
Slender and modern
So all the men will take her
[Verse Riff B2 x3] G||-----------------------| D||-----------------------| A||--5----5----5----------| E||---------------7--5----|
Back to the mirror in the Empress Hotel
[Verse Riff C2 x2] G||-----------------------| D||--5----5----5----------| A||---------------7--5----| E||-----------------------|
