Oh, The Boss is Coming! Lyrics

Oh, the boss is coming!
You'd better look busy
They aren't paying you for nothing

There's no time for loving
In the summer
In the city
There's only room for the sweaty
There's only room for the sweaty

There's no room for error
So beware
When your ass is on the line
I've yet to witness
Much forgiveness
In this business

Oh, you better not be sitting!
I punch in early
But be prepared to stay real late

Oh, you know they're not kidding
When they're talking the talk
When they're talking the talk
When they're talking the talk
It's worse than yelling
Oh, it's worse than yelling

There's no room for error
So beware
When your ass is on the line
I've yet to witness
Much forgiveness
In this business

I'm punching in
I'm punching out
I'm punching in
I'm punching out

I'm punching in
I'm punching out
I'm punching in
I'm punching out
I'm punching out

There's no room for error
So beware
When your ass is on the line
I've yet to witness
Much forgiveness
In this business

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
