    This was their first local single. The B side was an early version of their hit "Down Under."

    If I was in charge of things, I would reissue Two Hearts, and include all the missing rarities on that release.

    Fun song!They did this as one of their encore songs when they played the Rockpalast in Hamburg,Germany in 1982 and the audience MADE them come back after they did "Be Good Johnny" and left the stage.The live version was great,too!

      @@rusticredd6294 Sad but true!MAW is my all-time favorite band;it broke my heart when they split up...and even more so when Greg Ham passed away nearly 10 years ago.That plagiarism lawsuit over "Down Under" was a travesty.

      @@starletohara1631 They're one of my favorites too. Weird, isn't it, how it took so long before the lawsuit was brought up? And poor Greg. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since his passing. He was a phenomenal musician.

    LYRICS (Finally): She wakes up in the morning and she paints her face
    She’s got big green eyeballs
    Got no time and so she has to race
    Early mornin’ arrival
    It’s 8:45 and she’s on the train,
    Pullin’ into the station
    There’s a boy in the corner
    The seats getting warmer
    He smells her sweet sweet perfume
    She is a keypunch operator,
    Calls me on the telephone
    Doesn’t let things complicate her
    Honey can I take you home?
    She sits in the office
    Those long legs she crosses
    Gives the boys an eye roll
    But they all stare
    But she doesn’t care
    She likes to work on Michael
    Isn’t life fun with a honey filled bun?
    Cigarettes and coffee
    She doesn’t stop ‘till 12 o’clock
    She lunches in the city
    She is a keypunch operator
    Calls me on the telephone
    Doesn’t let things complicate her
    Honey can I take you home
    It’s nearly 5, and things are alive
    Takin’ it slow and easy
    Gotta keep your strength until the end
    And whip it up to a frenzy
    C’mon baby don’t you work too late
    Your cocktail’s blowin’ away
    The neon lights and long long nights
    It’s time to celebrate
    She is a keypunch operator
    Calls me on the telephone
    Doesn’t let things complicate her
    Honey can I take you home
    She is a keypunch operator
    Really likes the saxophone
    Doesn’t let things complicate her
    Honey can I take you home?
    Honey can I take you home?
    Honey can I take you home?
