ALL WORDS & MUSIC BY DAVE SHERIFF © Stomp Music & Publishing 2006

OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAYED

OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAYED
I DO THE WORK AND TAKE THE WAGE
GET UP IN THE MORNING WHEN I WANNA SLEEP
COME HOME AT NIGHT & FALL IN A HEEP

WHEN’S IT EVER GONNA END
I’LL NEVER FIND THE TIME TO SPEND
ALL OF THIS MONEY THAT I GOTTA SAVE
HELPING MYSELF TO AN EARLY GRAVE

CHORUS
LORDY LORDY HEAR MY PLEA
EVERY WORKING MAN’LL AGREE
LIFE’S A BITCH DIGGIN’ A DITCH
JUST HELPIN’ TO MAKE THE BOSSMAN RICH

INST

EVERY WEEK I PAY MY DUES
ALL TO GAIN & LITTLE TO LOSE
I CHECK MY NUMBERS ON SATURDAY NIGHT
HOPING ONE DAY THEY’LL TURN OUT RIGHT


ONE DAY I’M GONNA HAVE MY SAY
ALL OF MY BUDDIES’LL SHOUT ‘HOORAY’
MY LOTTERY TICKET’S A WINNER AT LAST
I’LL TELL THE BOSS TO KISS MY
ASTRONOMICAL BIG FAT CHEQUE

CHORUS
HE HEARD MY PLEA
NOW I’M THE BOSS AND HE WORKS FOR ME
YOU CAN BET I WONT EVEN BE HEARING A THING
WHEN HE HEARS HIS MORNING ALARM BELL RING
