Danuta
Danuta is an office girl
Works from 9 till 5
Wonders how she pays the bills
And how she stays alive
From day to day then week by week
Her life’s just passing by
Where is her knight in shining armour
Who’d keep her warm at night
Typing this and writing that
It’s the same thing everyday
Then home she goes to watch TV
Just passing time away
The chances that she could have had
She never even tried
But she wants a home and family
To make love every night
See how your mother lives your life
She says “No don’t leave me at home tonight”
Oh, you must endeavour always to be free
Then at the office another girl will sit,
Sit just where Danuta used to be.
Gets up in the morning
Pours herself a cup of tea
Hides behind her private thoughts
Dark clouds of mystery
Then sets off for the office
Finds it hard to stay awake
Another sheet goes on the roll
As she starts another day
See how your mother lives your life
She says “No don’t leave me at home tonight”
Oh, you must endeavour always to be free
Then at the office another girl will sit,
Sit just where Danuta used to be.
