Intro chord: D5  
 
D5 
Ruthie got a job 
D5 
And nothing went right 
G5                   C5        
She woke up in a nervous sweat 
        D5 
In the middle of the night 
      D5 
And every morning 
D5 
Of every day 
G5                        C5 
Ruthie she would end up crying, lord 
         G5 
And the boss would come and say 
 

C5                              G5 
Hey if you?re gonna lose your mind 
       C5         G5      D5 
Don?t do it on company time 
    C5                          G5 
Aw girl you?re gonna lose some pay 
        C5                 G5 
If you wanna behave that way 
            D5 
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
