Song | I Can't Wait To Get Off Work |
Artist | Tom Waits |
Album | Live in Concert (1977) |
作词 : Waits | |
(And See My Baby on Montgomery Avenue) | |
Well I don't mind working | |
cause I used to be jerkin off | |
most of my time in the bars | |
I been a cabbie and a stock clerk | |
and a soda fountain jock jerk | |
and a manic mechanic on cars | |
It's nice work if you can get it | |
now who the hell said it | |
I got money to spend on my gal | |
but the work never stops | |
and I'll be busting my chops | |
working for Joe and Sal. | |
And I can't wait to get off work | |
and see my baby | |
she said she'd leave the porch lite | |
on for me | |
I'm disheveled I'm disdainful | |
and I'm distracted and it's painful | |
but this job sweeping up here is | |
is gainfully employing me tonight | |
Tom do this Tom do that | |
Tom, don't do that | |
count the cash, clean the oven | |
dump the trash oh your lovin | |
is a rare and a copasetic gift | |
and I'm a moonlight watchmanic | |
it's hard to be romantic | |
(sweeping up over by the | |
cigarette machine | |
sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...) | |
I can't wait to get off work | |
and see my baby | |
she'll be waiting up with a magazine for me | |
clean the bathrooms, clean um good | |
oh your lovin I wish you would | |
come down here and sweepameoffmyfeet | |
this broom'll have to be my baby | |
if I hurry, I just might | |
get off before the dawns early light. |
