Intro chord: D  
 
D 
Ruthie got a job 
D 
And nothing went right 
G                   C        
She woke up in a nervous sweat 
        D 
In the middle of the night 
      D 
And every morning 
D 
Of every day 
G                        C 
Ruthie she would end up crying, lord 
         G 
And the boss would come and say 
 

C                              G 
Hey if you?re gonna lose your mind 
       C         G      D 
Don?t do it on company time 
    C                          G 
Aw girl you?re gonna lose some pay 
        C                 G 
If you wanna behave that way 
            D 
On company time  
 
Verse: 
Ruthie?s got a kid 
And he just turned two 
Late last year his daddy walked out 
Said now it?s all up to you 
The sitter called 
Has to leave pretty soon 
Ruthie asked her boss would it be alright 
To go home this afternoon 
 
Chorus: 
Hey if you?re always in a bind 
Don?t do it on company time 
Aw girl you?re gonna lose some pay 
If you wanna behave that way 
On company time 
 
Verse: 
Now Ruthie?s upstairs 
On the seventh floor 
Executive assistant to the chairman of the board 
And every morning on the speakerphone 
The chairman says Ruthie you?re driving me crazy 
Can we be alone 
 
Chorus: 
Hey if you wanna lose your mind 
Let?s do it on company time 
Aw girl we?re gonna raise your pay 
If you wanna behave that way 
On company time, on company time 
On company time, on company time
