Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big boss man, can you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all
[Verse 2]
You got me workin' boss man
Workin' 'round the clock
I want me a drink of water, but you won't let me stop
[Verse 3]
Big boss man, can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all
[Verse 4]
Gonna get myself a boss man
One gonna treat me right
Work him hard in the daytime
But I'll sure rest easy at night
[Verse 5]
Big boss man, can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all
