[00:21.11] Well I don't mind working
[00:24.80] Cause I used to be jerking off most of my time in bars
[00:31.50] I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda-fountain jock-jerk
[00:37.38] And a manic mechanic on cars
[00:42.23] It's nice work if you can get it, now who the hell said it?
[00:48.00] I got money to spend on my gal
[00:53.94] But the work never stops, and I'll be busting my chops
[01:00.52] Working for Joe and Sal
[01:07.15] And I can't wait to get off work and see my baby
[01:14.88] She said she'd leave the porch light on for me
[01:21.92] I'm disheveled and I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful
[01:29.13] But this job sweeping up here is gainfully employing me tonight
[01:42.69] Well "Tom, do this" and "Tom, do that", and "Tom, don't do that"
[01:50.53] Count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash
[01:55.26] Oh your loving is a rare and a copacetic gift
[02:03.57] And I'm a moonlight watch manic, it's hard to be romantic
[02:10.96] Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine
[02:14.70] Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine
[02:17.94] I can't wait to get off work and see my baby
[02:25.20] She'll be waiting up with a magazine for me
[02:32.42] Clean the bathrooms and clean 'em good, oh your loving I wish you would
[02:39.52] Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet
[02:46.56] This broom'll have to be my baby
[02:53.48] If I hurry, I just might get off before the dawn's early light
