warren zevon - workin' man's pay lyrics
[verse 1]
i tell you, buddy, it ain’t no fun
workin’ all day in the hot+hot sun
it don’t seem right a man should work all day
in the hot+hot sun earnin’ workin’ man’s pay
[chorus]
workin’ man’s pay
workin’ man’s pay
swingin’ that sledgehammer every day
a bottle of beer at the end of the day
and a naggin’ woman
that’s a workin’ man’s pay
[verse 2]
i went to hialeah with my pay in my hand
i bet all my money on an also+ran
workin’, workin’ ’til you waste away
in the hot+hot sun
earnin’ workin’ man’s pay
[chorus]
workin’ man’s pay
workin’ man’s pay
swingin’ that sledgehammer every day
it don’t seem right that a man should work this way
in the hot+hot sun earlin’ workin’ man’s pay
[verse 3]
i ain’t got much, but i ain’t no thief
and my old woman ain’t long to leave
so while you hippies are pickin’ flowers
remember some jerks workin’ workin’ man’s hours
[humming]
[verse 4]
i tell you, buddy, it ain’t no fun
workin’ all day in the hot+hot sun
it don’t seem right a man should work all day
in the hot+hot sun earnin’ workin’ man’s pay
[chorus]
workin’ man’s pay
workin’ man’s pay
swingin’ that sledgehammer every day
a bottle of beer at the end of the day
and a naggin’ woman
that’s a workin’ man’s pay
