Chorus: TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT/ I AINT WORKIN HERE NO MORE
|
MY WOMAN DONE LEFT AND TOOK ALL OF THE REASONS I WAS WORKING FOR
|
YOU BETTER NOT TRY TO STAND IN MY WAY/ WHEN I WALK OUT THE DOOR
|
TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT/ I AINT WORKIN HERE NO MORE
|
|
I BEEN WORKING IN THIS FACTORY/ PRETTY CLOSE TO 15 YEARS
|
IVE SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS WOMEN/ STANDING IN A POOL OF TEARS
|
IVE SEEN A LOT OF KINFOLKS DYING/ I HAD A LOT OF BILLS TO PAY
|
LORD, ID GIVE THE SHIRT RIGHT OFFIN MY BACK/ IF I HAD THE NERVE TO SAY:
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
THE FOREMAN IS A REGULAR S.O.B. AND THE NIGHT BOSS, HES A FOOL
|
HE GOT HIMSELF A BRAND NEW FLATTOP HAIRCUT
|
LORD, HE REALLY THINKS THATS COOL
|
ONE OF THESE DAYS IM GONNA BLOW MY TOP
|
AND THERES GONNA BE HELL TO PAY
|
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEIR FACES WHEN I GET THE NERVE TO SAY
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT . . .
|
