The Chocolate Factory (Good Morning, George)

LAURA
Good morning George, how are you?
I hope your feeling fine!
I’d love to stay and talk,
but it’s almost 8 o’clock
and I haven’t got the time!

Because we work real hard at the chocolate factory.
We start at eight and we don’t get lunch til three!
I gotta drive a truck, to make a buck,
so I can send it home to my family!

MR. LUNT
Well, now you are in trouble!
Your timecard is a wreck!
It’s almost two past eight,
I’ll tell Nezzer that you’re late
and he’ll take it from your check!

LAURA
Yes, Mr. Lunt.

MR. LUNT
Oh, yes!  We work real hard at the chocolate factory!

WORKER
Excuse me, Mr. Lunt, but I’ve got an injury!

MR. LUNT
Now get back on the line!
You’ll be just fine!
With all this work to do,
we’ve got no time for sympathy!

LARRY
We used to be so happy!

BOB
We used to laugh and run!

JUNIOR
Now there’s no time to play,
‘cuz we gotta work all day,
and it isn’t very fun!

BOB
I’m Rack,

JUNIOR
I’m Shack,

LARRY
I’m Benny!

BOB, LARRY AND JUNIOR
We work here in the plant.
We’d like to take a break
for goodness sake
but Mr. Nezzer says …

MR. LUNT
You can’t!!  Ha!

ALL
We all need a vacation!
Our schedule is severe!
We’re getting very tired,
but stopping gets us fired,
so we’ll have to stay right here!

Because we work real hard at the chocolate factory!
We start at eight and we don’t get lunch till three!
We work the whole week through, to make a buck or two,
so we can send them home to our families!

Someday they’ll  come and join us!
We’ll live in harmony!
We hope that day is near,
until then you’ll find us here
at the Nezzer Chocolate Factory!
