about

Seven days later finds Joey once again toiling away and humming a work song. Suddenly his rhythm is abruptly thrown off by a Managerial Wraith who delivers a message from on high-- “Work shifts will be longer....” It looks like involuntary overtime is headed Joey’s way "Longer Hours.”

lyrics

Longer Hours

Mmm, hmm, hmm...

Faster than a rumor
It's spreading through the air
Still got my sense of humor
I'm just a little scared

What's this gonna mean
For a guy like me?
Will I still be stocking shelves?
I guess I'll wait and see...

Gotta find out for myself
Who should I turn to for the news
And what about my mental health
This is not the same old blues

Mmm, hmm, hmm...

Dear valued teammate
Your work is essential!
Your presence is valued
Your toil consequential!

We ask you to work longer hours
We ask you to work longer days
Work shifts will be longer, be longer
Without much more pay!
