Lyrics

I've been laying on my back
Like a freight train off a track
Trying to find a job to fit my trade
With the morning sun come around
Well I'll be covering plenty of ground
And I don't need nobody to pay my aid
Mmmm pay my aid
Now Bess and me were feeling bad
And all the good jobs they were had
I had to take to sweeping up some floors
Well I don't mind that so much
Or the changing of my luck
But you know I could be doing so much more
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip
Well I'll be coming home tonight
Everything will be all right
And we'll be looking at tomorrow
Written by: A. Jardine, Gary Winfrey
