Lyrics
In this dirty old part of the city,
Where the sun refused to shine.
People tell me there aint no use in lyin'.
My little girl you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true.
You'll be dead before your time is through.
See my daddy in bed, he's dyin'
You know his hair is turning gray.
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Chorus:
We gotta work
Work
We gotta work
Work
Work
Work
Work
We gotta get out of this place.
If it's the last thing we ever do.
We gotta get out of this place.
Girl there's a better life,
For me and you
REPEAT ALL
Writer(s): Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
