Hey now you better
listen to me
everyone of you
We've got a lotta lotta
lotta lotta work to do
Forget about your
woman
and that water can
Today we're working
for the man
Well pick up your feet
We've got a
deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you
make it on time
Don't relax
I want elbows
and backs
I wanna see
everybody from behind
'Cos you're working
for the man
Working for the man
You gotta make him
a hand when you're
working for the man
Oh well I'm pickin'
'em up and I'm
laying 'em down
I believe he's gonna work
me into the ground
I pull to the left
I heave to the right
I wanna kill him but
it wouldn't be right
'Cos I'm working
for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
when you're
working for the man
Well the boss man's
daughter sneaks me
water everytime
her daddy's
down the line
She says:
Meet me tonight
Love-a me right
And everything is
gonna be fine
So I slave all day
without much pay
I'm just biding
my time
'Cos the company
and the daughter
you see
They're both gonna
be all mine
Yes I'm gonna be
the man
Gonna be the man
Gotta make him
a hand if I'm
gonna be the man
Yes I'm working
for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
Working for the man
Gonna be the man
Gonna be the man
