Lunch Hour
Rupert Holmes

She gets an hour for lunch but if it comes to the crunch

She can stretch it if you know what I mean

She meets him at a hotel where they're not known very well

'Cause they never stay beyond 2: 15

She does her make-up with care and runs a brush through her hair

Then grabs a cab back up to Third Avenue

And at a quarter to three, her friends say Oh-my-oh-me,

Whatever you just had for lunch agrees with you

Lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour

How do you find time to eat?

Well, there are so many people on the street

All of them are hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry

Lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour

Gimme a sandwich to go

Well, as long as I can see you, I know

I'll never go hungry

He takes a drive every day

From Brooklyn to jfk

Because he meets a flight at noon from Montreal

And every day he'll await

Outside Air Canada's gate

'Cause she's a stewardess connecting with St. Paul

And when his lady arrives

They run for both of their lives

Out to the Piper Cub Motel that they call home

Then back to Terminal 2

She meets her husband anew

He is the navigator of a flight from Rome

And it's lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour

How do you find time to eat?

Well, there are so many people on the street

And all of them are hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry

Lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour

Gimme a sandwich to go

Well, as long as I can see you, I know

I'll never go hungry

No lunch, no brunch

I'll munch something on the run, dear

East side, west side

Fast ride, lunch hour's begun here

I'm on a diet (No lunch, no brunch)

You might try it

(I'll munch something on the run, dear) Fast food and hot love

(East side, west side) You can do it

Long as you got love (Fast ride, lunch hour's begun here)

We live on a nine-hour day (No lunch, no brunch)

We sleep 8 hours away

(I'll munch something on the run, dear)

Work from 9 to 5 with 60 minutes off

(East side, west side) So when lunch hour's begun

We're really ready to run

(Fast ride, lunch hour's begun here)

It's on your mark, it's down and set, it's off

(No lunch, no brunch) Off to a table for two

Off to a room with a view

(I'll munch something on the run, dear)

With someone new who you just barely know

(East side, west side) You're really up for the date

And you don't want to be late

But still you swear your watch is 60 minutes slow

Is it lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour?

How do you find time to eat?

Well, there are so many people on the street

And all of them are hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry

Lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour, lunch hour

Gimme a sandwich to go

Well, as long as I can see you, I know

I'll never go hungry
