You got soul
on the dole
you gonna have
a good time
down on the line
You got soul
on the dole
you gonna have
a good time
down on the line
I said a get, get,
get on down,
I said get, get,
get on down
I said a get, get,
get on down,
I said get, get,
get on down
Hey everybody
take a look at me
I've got street
credibility
I may not have a job
but I have a good time
with the boys that I meet
down on the line
I said D.H.S.S.
man the rhythm
that they're givin'
is the very best
Hu-yuh
I said B1, B2,
makin' claims
on your name
is all you have to do
Well, folks can be a drag
if work ain't your bag
and when you
let them know
You're more dead
than alive
in a nine to five
then they say
you've got to go
And "get yourself a job
or get out of this house
get yourself a job
are you a man
or a mouse?"
A finger in each ear
you pretend not to hear
gotta get some space
get out of this place
Wham! Bam!
I am! A man!
Job or no job
you can't tell me
that I'm not
Do! You! Enjoy
what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there
and rot!
On the streets
in the cars
on the underground
If you listen real hard
you can hear the sound
of a million people
switching off for work
Well listen Mr. Average
"You're a jerk!"
Not me
you can't hold me down
Not me
I'm gonna fool around
Gonna have some fun
look out for number one
you can dig your grave
I'm staying young
Wham! Bam!
I am! A man!
Job or no job
you can't tell me
that I'm not
Do! You! Enjoy
what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there
and rot!
If you're a pub man
or a club man
maybe a jet black guy
with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat
with a trilby hat
maybe leather and studs
is where you're at
Make the most
of every day
don't let hard times
stand in your way
Give a wham give a bam
but don't give a damn
'cause the benefit gang
are gonna pay
Now I reach up
high and touch
your soul
The boys from Wham
will help you reach
that goal
It's gonna break
your mama's heart
It's gonna break
your daddy's heart
But you'll throw the dice
and take my advice
because I know
that you're smart
Can you dig this thing?
Yeah!
Are you gonna get down?
Yeah
Say wham!
wham!
Say bam!
bam!
Wham! Bam!
I am! A man!
Job or no job
you can't tell me
that I'm not
Do! You! Enjoy
what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there
and rot!
Wham! Bam!
I am! A man!
Job or no job
you can't tell me
that I'm not
Do! You! Enjoy
what you do?
If not, just stop!
Don't stay there
and rot!
Wham! Bam!
I am! A man!
Job or no job
you can't tell me
that I'm not
Do! You! Enjoy
what you do?
