THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN'
ABOUT
HA HA HA HA HA HA
I CUT MY TEETH
ON AN OLD
LAWN MOWER
CLEANIN' OUT GUTTERS
DOIN' OTHER PEOPLE'S
CHORES
AFTER SCHOOL
WEEKENDS
AND HOLIDAYS
YEAH EVER SINCE THEN
ALL I'VE KNOWN
IS MY NOSE ON FIRE
FROM THE GRINDSTONE
A LIFETIME
BUILT ON
AN HOURLY WAGE
MUSCLED ARMS
AND CALLOUSED HANDS
I I AM THE WORKIN' MAN
THE SUN COMES UP
THE SUN GOES DOWN
GOTTA KEEP THIS WORLD
TURNIN' 'ROUND
BLAZIN' HOT
FREEZIN' COLD
NO MATTER WHAT
IT STILL GOES ON
PUSHIN' PULLIN' POURIN'
MIXIN'
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA
FIX IT
I AM
THE WORKIN' MAN
YES I AM
NOW I'VE LAID ASPHALT
AND I'VE LAID BRICK
I'VE HUNG SHEETROCK
AND SHOVELED S%!@
EAT MY LUNCH DOWN AT
THE QUICKY MART
OH I FILL THE POTHOLES
ON EASY STREET
SO SHOW SOME RESPECT
WHEN YOU
LOOK AT ME I'M JUST
OUT HERE
TRYIN' TO DO MY PART
AND I SLEEP GOOD
WHEN THE DAY COMES
TO AN END
'CAUSE I I AM
THE WORKIN' MAN
THE SUN COMES UP
THE SUN GOES DOWN
GOTTA KEEP THIS WORLD
TURNIN' 'ROUND
BLAZIN' HOT
FREEZIN' COLD
NO MATTER WHAT
IT STILL GOES ON
PUSHIN' PULLIN' POURIN'
MIXIN'
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA
FIX IT
I AM
THE WORKIN' MAN
I CAN SWING A HAMMER
TURN A WRENCH
BUILD A TOWER
DIG A DITCH
DRIVE A TRUCK
THAT SHAKES THE EARTH
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DO
THE DIRTY WORK
THE SUN COMES UP
SUN GOES DOWN
GOTTA KEEP THIS WORLD
TURNIN' 'ROUND
BLAZIN' HOT
FREEZIN' COLD
NO MATTER WHAT
IT STILL GOES ON
PUSHIN' PULLIN' POURIN'
MIXIN'
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA
FIX IT
I AM
I AM THE WORKIN' MAN
YES I AM
OH THE WORKIN' MAN
