Employment is a Girl's Best Friend

Aware of the shallow message of our earlier hit, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", we rewrote the words to reflect the reality of the 90s, especially since 60% of us had lost our jobs that year. We sang this at Frumie's graduation party, November 1996.

Employment is a Girl's Best Friend - Fall 1996
Can you tell which three Fetchings lost their jobs this year?

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
Employment is a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at The Automat
    Men grow old
    And leave you cold
    For some chick with a shapely rear end
But full time or part time
A job is your lifeline
Employment is a girl's best friend.

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Employment is a girl's best friend
There may come a time when some hard-up employer
Says he likes your ass
But drop the slob
And keep your job
    He may flirt
    And eye your skirt
    So look out when this looks like a trend
You don't need this embarrassment
So tell him that it's harrisment
Employment is a girl's best friend

I've heard of some jobs that are strictly for peanuts
Employment is a girl's best friend
And I think that jobs that would drive you and me nuts
Would be better bets
If all our sex
Got big paycheques.
    Profits soar
    But they want more
    And they'll push you to slave till the end
It's then that some clown tries
To lay off and downsize....
   Employment (employment)
    Employment (employment)
    I don't mean Workfare!
Employment is a girl's best friend!
