Hey, now you better listen to me, everyone of you |
|
We got a lotta, lotta, lotta, lotta work to do |
|
Forget about your woman and that water can |
|
Today we're workin' 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 |
|
'Cause you're workin' for the man, workin' for the man |
|
You gotta make him a hand when you're workin' 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 |
|
'Cause I'm workin' for the man, workin' for the man |
|
Gotta make him a hand when you're workin' for the man |
|
Well, the boss man's daughter sneaks me water |
|
Every time 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 |
|
'Cause I'm just abiding my time |
|
'Cause the company and the daughter you see |
|
Their both gonna be all mine |
|
Yeah, I'm gonna be the man, gonna be the man |
|
Gotta make him a hand if I'm gonna be the man |
|
Workin' for the man, workin' for the man |
|
Gonna be the man, gonna be the man |
|
Gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man |
