louis armstrong & mills brothers - w.p.a. lyrics
louis armstrong:
now wake up boys, get out on the rock
it ain’t daybreak, but it’s 4 o’clock
harry (?) mills:
oh, no, no, no, pops, you know that ain’t the play
louis armstrong:
what you talkin’ ’bout, it’s the w.p.a
the w.p.a
the w.p.a
sleep while you work, while you rest, while you play
lean on your shovel to p-ss the time away
t’ain’t what you do, you can die for your pay
the w.p.a
the w.p.a
the w.p.a
now don’t be a fool working hard is p-ssé
you’ll stand from five to six hours a day
sit down and choke while you smoke, it’s ok
the w.p.a
i’m so tired, i don’t know what to do
can’t get fired, so i’ll take my rest until my work
is through
the w.p.a
the w.p.a
don’t mind the boss if he’s cross when you’re g-y
he’ll get a pink slip next month anyway
three little letters than make life ok
the w.p.a
skeets tolbert & his gentlemen of swing’s version (decca, 1941) doesn’t have the spoken intro and has this as a last stanza:
the w.p.a
the w.p.a
don’t mind the boss if he’s cross when you’re g-y
you’ll get a pink slip next week anyway
n0body peeks if you loaf every day
the w.p.a
the second time through, tolbert repeats the first stanza in place of the last one
