We Be Too Tired to Work!~ Hunched over, nose to the grindstone! Shoulder grappling the spinning wheel, Moses, shouted out across the water, Yowsa Boss we be too tired to work! We be so tired by the end of the day, We never knowd when to stop! If it were easy as fishin', You could be a musician, If you could make sounds, Loud or mellow! Get a second-hand guitar, Chances are, you'll go far, If you get in with the right bunch of fellows! People see you having fun, Just a-lying in the sun, Tell them that you like it this way! It's the work that we avoid, And we're all self-employed, We love to work at nothing all day! And we be taking care of business, every day! Taking care of business, every way! We be taking care of business, its all mine! Taking care of business and working overtime! Mercy… Whoo… All right... Take good care of my business, When I'm away, every day. You get up every morning, From your alarm clock's warning, Take the 8:15 into the city! There's a whistle up above, And people pushin', people shovin', And the girls who try to look pretty! And if your train's on time, You can get to work by nine, And start your slaving job, To get your pay! If you ever get annoyed, Look at me I'm self-employed, I love to work at nothing all day! And I be taking care of business, every day! Taking care of business, every way! We be taking care of business, its all mine! Taking care of business and working overtime, Take care… We be too tired to work ourselves! Maybe you can find someone else who needs food stamps! (BTO- Backman, Turner, Overdrive)
This is another example of a song with such simple lyrics its hard to express the same sentiment any simpler, although I added a few lines at the beginning and end and slightly altered a few words, its still basically the complete song.
