When I Get Paid

(album: Nuggets - 1977)

A-well, I work a-hard everyday-hey
Can't hardly wait to draw my pay
It's Monday morning and I'm on the job
Doing the same old thing I'm just a-working hard

Um-hm, Tuesday evening I'm at it again
Ain't had no rest since I don't know when
Wednesday morning, I can't hardly see
Maaan, this work is killing me!
Thursday morning I just can't make it
Well, I don't know how long this boy can take it-a

Now let's go, shake it honey!

The saxophone now!

Oh well-a I work hard everyday-hey
Can't hardly wait to draw my pay
It's Monday morning and I'm out on the job
Doing the same old thing, I'm just-a working hard

Tuesday evening I'm at it again
Ain't had none of that rest since I don't know when-a
Wednesday morning, can't hardly see
Maaan, this work is killing me.
