It was in the evening paper under General Vacancy
|
"Part time man required in a local factory"
|
I put my Sunday suit on and I gave my old boots a brush
|
I got on my old two wheeler as I was in a rush
|
|
"Wait over there in the queue, come here when I call your name."
|
There's about ten or twenty part time men, they all look just the same
|
"Alfred Webster?" a€“ "Yes, that's me." a€“ "Kindly come this way."
|
With fingers crossed I follow him and I hope it's my lucky day
|
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
(That's all)
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
|
With shaky hand I started to the best that I was able
|
The man I had come to see smiled across the table
|
I filled in all questions, name, address and occupation
|
What I did in World War Three, and my present situation
|
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
(That's all, that's all)
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
|
I went back to the waiting room and they asked me what he said
|
Before I had time to answer a woman came out and shook her head
|
Returned from where I came from to my old and faithful cat
|
I turned off the light in my eyes and that's the end, that
|
Oh yeah
|
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
(All I wanted to be was a part time man)
|
All I wanted to be was a part time man
|
(That's all, that's all, that's all)
