Nice Work If You Can Get It

Running up the expenses

Running off at the mouth

Running out of resources and heading south

Sticking out your neck for me

Sticking it to the man

Sticking to a story I don't understand

Sticking to the plan

I know I am expected to go

All for one for the show

Am I going to regret it?

Either way, the ship is sailing today

And I hear what they say

Nice work if you can get it

Showing off's half the battle

Showing up doesn't pay

Showing in those invited, but they can't stay

Pressing each other's buttons

Pressing on in the hopes

Pressing problems keep us pressing on the ropes

That's how one copes

I know I am expected to go

All for one for the show

Am I going to regret it?

Either way, the ship is sailing today

And I hear what they say

Nice work if you can get it

Turning into what I hate

Turning water to wine

Turning right on a red, turning on a dime

Turning one more time

Turning on my dime
