Lyrics
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his vein
Hoh hoh woh, he's a working class man
Well he's a steel town disciple
Oh he's a legend of his kind
A running like a cyclone
Across the wide Australian sky
Oh hoh woh, he's a working class man, yeah, oh
Believes in God and Elvis
Gets out when he can
He did his time in Vietnam, still mad at Uncle Sam
He's a simple man with a heart of gold
In a complicated land, yeah
Oh hoh, he's a working class man
Well he loves a little woman
You best not tell his wife
Or she's gonna cut his balls off now
With a six inch carving knife
He ain't worried about tomorrow
He just made up his mind
A life's too short for burning bridges
I take it one day at a time
Oh oh, he's a working class man, oh
Oh oh, well he's a working class man
Oh yeah
Yes he is, alright
He's a working class man
Oh
Oh ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class (working class man) yeah
Yes he is (working class, working class man)
Oh, a working class man
(Working class, working class man) oh
Yes he is (Working class, working class man)
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, thank you for coming (working class man)
(Working class, working class man)
(Working class, working class man)
(Working class, working class man)
