Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm wakin' up at ten o'clock
The coffee just don't hit the spot
The holy grail and Camelot
Await for me at the next bus stop
I flip the sign, my work's begun
It ain't work when it's so much fun
I really feel like the lucky one
I'm where I wanna be
[Chorus]
Got my job at the record shop (Record shop)
I play the songs that I like a lot (Like a lot)
My two girlfriends are a broom and mop
And they dance with me when the needle drops
I don't care what other people say (People say)
How late the stereo blasts away (Blasts away)
I lock the doors and I sweep the floors
And I check the drawer, never ask for more
[Verse 2]
I think I found my destiny
Crate diggin' for some melodies
I'd like to say that you have good taste
But we all know that ain't true
I pick my favorites from the bunch
I eat calypso and jazz for lunch
So go ahead and pick a side
And I'll tell you who's on keys
[Chorus]
I got my job at the record shop (Record shop)
I play the songs that I like a lot (Like a lot)
My two girlfriends are a broom and mop
And they dance with me when the needle drops
I don't care what other people say (People say)
How late the stereo blasts away (Blasts away)
I lock the doors and I sweep the floors
And I check the drawer, never ask for more
[Instrumental]
I love my job, you betcha
I gotta come clean
I'm just here for employee discounts
On new arrivals and magazines, oh
[Instrumental]
Closing time comes rapidly
The record covers smile back at me
I flip the sign and I hit the lights
It feels like leaving home
[Refrain]
'Cause this little world's really all I know
[Outro]
I love my job at the record shop
I played the songs, but they had to stop
My two girlfriends, they don't call a lot
And I walk home all alone
