Microwaves seem designed to slow me down
While I'm waiting for a bagel dog to brown
And this day seems as slow as any I've had
Till breaktime arrives, then it speeds like mad

I waited till two
Hard to stay awake
I know you can handle it
While I am on my break

Customers' gripes
Are the same whiny types
I'm outta here anyway
Cause I am on my break
I am on my break
Break

I hear you beseeching as the loudspeaker blares
For customer service help in kitchen wares
And for a couple of moments there, I almost respond
But then the microwave dings, and the bagels are on

I waited till two
Now it's hard to fake
More customer courtesy
So I am on my break

Everyone's needs
Have to take a backseat
They're payin' me anyway
So I am on my break
I am on my break
Break

Hang up the P.A.
Cause I'm not on my way
None of your pages will sway me

And "may I help you, ma'am?"
Not really who I am
Not with the wages they pay me
They pay me, they pay me
They pay me naught

No way, I'm on my time

I waited till two
Now I start to shake
To hell with the company
Now I am on my break

Checking-out time
There's a hellacious line
Ignoring it anyway
Cause I am on my break
I am on my break

I am on my break
I am on my break

Oh, hard to stay awake
Now I start to shake

Getting hard to fake (I am on my break)
More than I can take (I am on my break)
Sanity at stake (I am on my break)
Bagel dogs to bake (I am on my break)
