Lyrics
[Intro]
Walked all day till my feet were tired
I was low, I just couldn't get hired
So I sat in a grocery store
"Help is light and we need some more"
[Chorus]
I got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
I got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
I got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
Oh well, I finally, finally, finally
Finally, finally got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
[Verse 1]
You've been houndin' me to get a job
Well, I finally did and the boss is a slob
He's on my back nearly all day long
It seems like everything I do is wrong
But I finally, finally, finally
Finally, finally got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
[Verse 2]
He says to me
"Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement
Get the mop and clean the dirty floors
And when you're finished
Wash the windows and the doors"
Well, I finally, finally, finally
Finally, finally got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
[Bridge]
Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane
One of these days, I'm gonna have a fit
And though the thought keeps a-runnin' through my brain
I'll never, never, never, never
Never, never quit my brand new job
Workin' all day and-a workin' all night
And-a workin' all day and night
[Verse 3]
He says to me
"Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement
Get the mop and clean the dirty floors
And when you're finished
Wash the windows and the doors"
Well, I finally, finally, finally
Finally, finally got a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
[Bridge]
Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane
One of these days, I'm gonna have a fit
And though the thought keeps a-runnin' through my brain
I'll never, never, never, never
Never, never quit my brand new job
Workin' all day and-a workin' all night
And-a workin' all day and-a workin' all night
And-a workin' all day and-a workin' all night
