Work to Be Done (feat. Alabama Mike)

Early in the morning

‘Bout a quarter to four

Umm

A rooster crowed at my front door

Cock-a-doodle-doo right in my ear

Get up get up another day is here

Get up with the sun

That’s all he know

Another day has come

There’s work to be done

Monday through Friday it’s the same routine

Work working all day like an iron machine

7 to 3 and that’s every day

Come Friday I’m too tired to spend my pay

Get up with the sun

That’s all he know

Another day has come

There’s work to be done

One of these mornings when I don’t feel well

I’m going to beat that rooster into a spell

Never again will he cock-a-doodle-doo

‘cause I’m gonna make me a rooster stew

Get up with the sun

That’s all he know

Another day has come

There’s work to be done

There’s work to be done

There work to be done

Well cock-a-doodle-doo

Gonna make me a rooster stew

I just don’t feel like going to work this mornin’

Get away from my door rooster

You get on out from here

I’m going to get a taste for some fried rooster in a minute

Gonna put some gravy on your back legs in a minute

You better watch out

Yeah

I don’t feel like working this morning

I feel like having a little rooster for breakfast

Ah yeah

I think I have one more onion left in there

Got some flour

Some fried meat grease

I’m ready boy if you don’t get away from here
