Chorus: TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT/ I AINT WORKING HERE NO MORE MY WOMAN DONE LEFT AND TOOK ALL OF THE REASONS I WAS WORKING FOR YOU BETTER NOT TRY TO STAND IN MY WAY/ WHEN I WALK OUT THE DOOR TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT/ I AINT WORKING HERE NO MORE
I BEEN WORKING IN THIS FACTORY/ PRETTY CLOSE TO 15 YEARS IVE SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS WOMEN/ STANDING IN A POOL OF TEARS IVE SEEN A LOT OF KINFOLKS DYING/ I HAD A LOT OF BILLS TO PAY LORD, ID GIVE THE SHIRT RIGHT OFFING MY BACK/ IF I HAD THE NERVE TO SAY:
Repeat Chorus
THE FOREMAN IS A REGULAR SOB. AND THE NIGHT BOSS, HES A FOOL HE GOT HIMSELF A BRAND NEW FLATTOP HAIRCUT LORD, HE REALLY THINKS THATS COOL ONE OF THESE DAYS IM GONNA BLOW MY TOP AND THERES GONNA BE HELL TO PAY I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEIR FACES WHEN I GET THE NERVE TO SAY
Repeat Chorus
