Efficiency expert Vernon Hines sings about the time-study work he loves: “The Pajama Game.” |
 Inside of the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory, Hines has all the workers “Racing with the Clock.” |

|
| The new supervisor, Sid Sorokin, muses that “A New Town Is a Blue Town.” | Sid meets Babe Williams, the head of the union Grievance Committee, who represents a worker who claims that Sid hit him. |
|
|
| Sparks fly between Sid and Babe, but Babe insists, “I'm Not at All in Love.” | Sid's secretary, Mabel, tries to coach Hines to overcome his insane jealousy about Gladys Hotchkiss, the boss's secretary, so Hines can say, “I'll Never Be Jealous Again.” |
|
|
| After a visit to his office from Babe, Sid sings a duet with his dictaphone: “Hey There.” | The union President, Prez, makes a pass at Gladys with his usual line: “Her Is.” |
|
|
| At the annual company picnic, the employees sing the company song: “Sleep Tite.” | The picnic is a “Once-a-Year Day,” when everyone can go a bit wild. |
|
|
| At the picnic, Prez tries out his “Her Is” line on Mae with good results. | Sid comes to visit Babe at her home and meets her Pop who has a train to catch. |
|
|
| After some flirtation, Sid and Babe agree to dispense with “Small Talk.” | Sid sings “There Once was a Man” to tell Babe that his love for her is epic. |
|
|
| The workers implement a slow down to bring attention to their demand for a raise of seven-and-a-half cents an hour. | At a union meeting, some of the workers provide entertainment by dancing to “Steam Heat.” |
|
|
| After a quarrel with Sid, Babe sings “Hey There.” | Hines entrances the factory girls by explaining how he lives his life to maximize his efficiency: “Think of the Time I Save.” |
|
|
| At Maxine's insistence, Hines models a pair of pajama pants for Myron Hasler, the big boss. When the improperly sewn top button pops off, the pants fall down. | Sid suspects there is an important secret in the company's financial records and, in an attempt to gain access to them, asks Gladys for a date. Gladys suggests that they go to “Hernando's Hideaway. |
|
|
| The crowd is lively at “Hernando's Hideaway.” | Sid confronts Hasler with the company's financial secret. |
|
|
| The workers picket for their raise. | Babe and Prez calculate what “Seven and a Half Cents” will really mean to the factory workers. |
