|
The alarm clock crowed an hour ago
|
I'm already running behind
|
If this one-eyed Ford doesn't start
|
I'm never going to make it on time
|
Show up late just once more
|
The boss said he'd dock my pay
|
I head in through the side door
|
Grab my tools and I'm on my way
|
I'm going to work
|
I put my big boots on
|
I'm going to work
|
I will be working all day long
|
Passing the time 'til I get home
|
When my baby talks real soft
|
I take my big boots off
|
Welcome to my steady job
|
It's not what I would call a career
|
Pick it up and put it there
|
Pick it up and put it over here
|
They hold my raise up to keep costs down
|
And then they raise the price
|
The squeaky wheel is spinning around
|
I'm running like one of those mice
|
CHORUS
|
Pay day comes once a week
|
A day that I never miss
|
Run to the bank, cash my check
|
Got my money clutched in my fist
|
One for you, one for me
|
One for my Uncle Sam
|
One for a ticket for the lottery
|
It's all part of my plan
|
CHORUS
|
