Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on, everybody, don't need this crap
Come on, everybody, don't need this crap
Come on, everybody, come on, everybody
Come on, everybody, don't need this crap
[Verse 2]
Get yourself a job
Get yourself a job
No, no, no, no way
'Cause the Benefit Gang, 'cause Benefit Gang
'Cause the Benefit Gang are gonna pay
Say, "Wham"
[Verse 3]
You got soul on the dole
You don't take no shit from benefit
You got soul on the dole
You don't take no shit from benefit
Said get, get, get on down, said get-get-get on down
Said get, get, get on down, said get-get-get on down
[Verse 4]
Hey, everybody, take a look at me
I've got street credibility
I may not have a job but I have a good time
With the boys that I meed down on the line
[Verse 5]
I don't need you, so you don't approve?
Well, who asked you to?
Hey
Hey, jerk, you work
This boy's got better things to do
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose to cruise, gonna live my life sharp as a knife
I've found my groove and I just can't lose
A1 style from head to toe
Cool cat flash gonna let you know, I'm a soul boy, I'm a dole boy
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy
[Verse 6]
Wham, bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop, don't stay there and rot
[Verse 7]
Party nights and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights, dancin' shoes and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls
Hot damn, everybody, let's play, so they promised you a good job?
No way
One, two, three, rap, come on, everybody, don't need this crap
[Verse 8]
Wham, bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you enjoy what you do? If not just stop
Don't stay there and rot
[Verse 9]
Enjoy what you do
If you're a pub man or a club man, maybe a jetblack guy
With a hip hi-fi? White cool cat with a Trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you're at
Make the most of every day, don't let hard times stand in your way
Give a wham, give a bam but don't give a damn
'Cause the Benefit Gang are gonna pay
[Verse 10]
Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart
(So sad)
These girls'll break your daddy's heart
(Too bad)
Just throw the dice and take my advice 'cause I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing? (Yeah)
Are you gonna get down? (Yeah)
Say, "Wham" (Wham)
Say, "Bam" (Bam)
[Verse 11]
Wham, bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop, don't stay there and
Wham, bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop, don't stay there and
Wham, bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop, don't stay there and rot
[Verse 12]
Do you want to work?
Are you gonna have fun?
Do you wanna be a jerk?
Are you gonna stay long?
Yeah, everybody say, "Wham"
Say, "Bam"
Yeah, everybody say, "Wham"
Say, "Wham, Wham"
[Verse 13]
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Yeah, everybody say, "Wham"
Say, "Wham"
Say, "Wham"
(Wham)
Say, "Wham, bam"
(Wham, bam)
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
[Verse 14]
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
Enjoy what you do
