Onetta, there in the corner stand |
|
And she wonders where she is and |
|
It's strange to her |
|
Some people seem to have everything |
|
Nine a. m. on the hour hand |
|
And she's waiting for her bell |
|
And she's looking real pretty |
|
Just wait for her clientele |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So hard for it, honey |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So you better treat her right |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So hard for it, honey |

So you better treat her right |
|
Twenty eight years have come and gone |
|
And she' seen a lot of tears |
|
Of the ones who come in |
|
They really seem to need her there |
|
It's a sacrifice working day to day |
|
For little money just tips for pay |
|
But it's worth it all |
|
Just to hear them say that they care |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So hard for it, honey |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So you better treat her right |
|
Already knows |
|
She's seen her bad times |
|
Already knows |
|
These are the good times |
|
She'll never sell out |
|
She never will |
|
Not for a dollar bill |
|
She works hard |
|
So hard for it, honey |
|
She works hard for the money |
|
So you better treat her right |

|
She works hard, hard, hard for the money |
|
So hard, hard, hard for it honey |
|
Hard for the money |
|
So you better treat her right, her right |
