A funky girl with colored hair is the newest employee in a 9 to 5 office. An office with a warehouse full of temp labor hanging on the backside of the building, not quite quarantined. The white and the blue collar under one roof, fraternize on occasion. The warehouse worker in this particular song was smitten with the new girl in the office, and made a move.
lyrics
There's a new girl in the office
Her hair is pink and blonde
I've only seen her one time
Now she's all I want
At break time I'll go up there
And lean on a vending machine
Hoping she gets hungry
Stumbles into me
Singing, hello, my love
Am I in love
Armando thinks I'm crazy
But I believe in love
Just every time it happens
I make the wrong move
As I wander around the warehouse
I wonder what to say
It's kind of like meeting Jesus
On judgement day
Singing, hello, my lord
Am I good enough
My hands are dirty
Hers are clean
She wears a braided lapis ring
I pack boxes like a doggone machine
And she's up there
In the cool air
With her pink hair
Waiting for me
I saw her in the hallway
And found the courage to try
Give a boy a chance
This Friday night
She just laughed and said fiance
Singer in a band
I should come see him
She don't understand
He'll sing "hello, my love
We're so in love"
Everyday I wonder
Why am I alone
I haven't found an answer
And the story goes
There's a new girl in the office
I've seen her once or twice
Enough to know for sure
She's not my type
