NO JOB WORKING MAN

He loves to eat and he loves to sleep
That no-job working man (no job working man)
He wants to boss and can't pay the cost
That's no-job working man

When that job-pay comes around
he'll have the biggest smile in town
If you get that check, he'll break his neck
to catch that mailman all around
That no-job working man (no job working man)

When that snow begins to blow
he'll ease on right back through the door
And when the sun begins to shine
he'll just ease on down the line
That's no-job working man

Take my advice and just think twice
If you've got one, get on the run
Throw his clothes out the door
Roll them on to the floor
And when he says "are you crazy?"
Say "I'm just tired of Mister Lazy!"

And if he fights? Well, that's all right
Just be sweet until that night
Get some lye and dust his eye
and he'll be a no-seeing man
He'll be a no-seeing man

Take my advice and just think twice
If you've got one, get on the run
Throw his clothes out the door
Roll them onto the floor
And when he says "are you crazy?"
Say "I'm just tired of Mister Lazy!"

And if he fights? Well, that's all right
Just be sweet until that night
Get some lye and dust his eye
and he'll be a no-seeing man
He'll be a no-seeing man.
