Get A Job

GET A JOB Dave Hole (Dave Hole Music, APRA)

When I was a boy back in ’68
Bought myself a guitar and I was playin’ just great
I got me some flares and a paisley body shirt
Then my old man came up and said something that really hurt
Go get a job, go get a job
He said quit acting like a jerk, everybody got to work
Go get a job

I met the girl of my dreams and she fell in love with me
I said “baby lets set a date”, she said “no-we gotta wait”
I said “what do you mean” she said “think of all the things we need
Like a colour TV, and a washing machine”
Go get a job, go get a job
She said “baby don’t be a jerk, everybody got to work
Go get a job”.

I got my **** together and I formed a little band
One time we were wailing on this one-night stand
The joint got busted and I went before the judge
He said “son now listen hear I’ve just about had enough”
Go get a job, go get a job
He said “son don’t be a jerk, everybody got to work”
Go get a job

…………………..”Go get yourself a real job!”
