WA8, Draft 2: All the People You'll Show (or not)

Hey Girl!
This is your day.
You’re off to better places!
You’re almost gone and shooray!

Your eyeliner’s just right,
Your lipstick bright red,
Your hair has a curl,
On the top of your head.
GIRL you gonna be on your own.
And you can show them what you know.
And you are the girl who’ll be aglow.

You’ll see who your competition is.
Look ‘em up and down with a stare.
Then you’ll walk off, with a flip of your hair.
You might be a little full of yourself and your shoes too big for your feet but that won’t get you down when you are always upbeat.

You might not find any where you want to work
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a perk.

It’s dangerous out there
and not always fair.

In the city things happen
To one and to all
You may get a break,
Or maybe a call.

And when that phone rings,
Shout “Hip Hip Horray!”
You may get a job
And one that will pay.

OH! THE PEOPLE YOU’LL SHOW!

When you enter the office
You’ll hold your head high.
You’ll soar to the top,
And feel yourself fly.

You won’t the best, because you’re so new.
And people will question everything that you do.
They’ll test what you know and ask your credentials
You won’t give them anything more than essentials.

Except when you do.
Because you are new.

You’re part of the team
That sometimes can’t function
More often than not they’re all at a luncheon.

They’re gone once again,
And left the work for you.
It keeps piling up
Because you’re brand new.

So you just wait.
Waiting for a file to file
Or a paper to sign, or a phone to dial
Or a report to copy, or just a nice smile.
Everyone but you is working.

The project’s assigned,
You’re the one who’s in charge.
You want to show them,
The small and the large.

You work through the night,
From dusk until dawn,
You sleep on your desk,
And wake up with a yawn.

You try and you try,
And you try your very best,
But it’s no use,
You’re starting to look depressed

Your eyeliner’s smudged
Your lipstick is faded,
Your hair is not curly,
Because it is schmadled.

NO! That’s just not you!

You’re always prepared,
And up to the task,
But suddenly you feel
You have no one to ask.

And will you succeed?
No! No you will, not!
In fact it’s guaranteed you’ll get schmot.
GIRL! YOU’LL FALL FAST!

So…
Be your name Toet, or Schoppa, or Barry,
Or even Schomp, Smolly or Smachk O’Mally.
You’re going to fall fast!
Today’s not your day!
The mountain is falling.
So…get out off the way!
