graham parker – honest work lyrics
as long as you give me my pay you’ll get your moneys worth
i’ll be there 8 hours a day i won’t hide and i won’t shirk
i got a way with a hammer and a nail a dovetail and a tongue and groove
put up a wall in half a day guarantee it’ll never move
chorus
shouda li li li dum dum a day honest work
i’m gonna build a strong foundation marble walls like grand central station
not gonna feel any more frustration do enough work for an entire nation
gonna get a chisel and an awl and a saw carve my name out on your door
a block and tackle and a spirit level take your heart of gl-ss and put on a bevel
chorus repeat
got to build a strong foundation strong enough to hold up a nation
strong enough to put your faith in the roof won’t leak and the floor won’t cave in
gonna get a lathe and a capstan press take an old claw hammer to this mess
gonna knock down the walls of denial wear ’em down with a pick and a file
chorus repeat
