Verse 1

I don't want
To work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy
And you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine

Verse 2

'Cause I know for sure
Nobody should be that poor
To say yes or sink low
Because you happen to say so, say so, you say so

Verse 3

I don't want
To work away
Doing just what they all say
Work hard boy
And you'll find
One day you'll have a job like mine
Job like mine
A job like mine

Verse 4

Be wise, look ahead
Use your eyes he said
Be straight, think right
But I might die toni-i-i-i--i—i-i-i-ight!
