Lyrics
I'm getting called in the office
The boss has got to talk to me
He said times are tough
And I'm gonna have to let you be
I know that you were a good one
And this really isn't very much fun
But here's your pink slip
And a little luck wished from me
So the next day I went
And signed up for my benefits
And looking for a job
Lead my mood straight down to the pits
They said no we're not hiring now
But fill out the app. anyhow
And we'll call you if
Something
Comes up for it
Please won't ya give me a job
I got 9 hungry kids at home
And they constantly sob
Anything will be fine
Cause I'm just trying to find
Me a job
So Sunday rolled around
And I opened up the newspaper
Six jobs could be found
But you know that they all paid dirt
Called them up anyway
Just to hear them say
Job's been filled
But fill out the app. anyway
So I went to another job
And filled out the application
Just to find out that
They just filled up that position
I said here's your app. anyway
And I know what you're gonna say
"We'll call you if we open up
Another position"
Please won't ya give me a job
I got 9 hungry kids at home
And they constantly sob
Anything will be fine
cause I'm just trying to find
Me a job
Clean trash, Mop floors
Either way I'd be poor
I felt the choices I had
Would all drive me mad
But it's not all that bad
From the choices there were
Cause I got to be a dishwasher
Please won't ya show me some jobs
With a choice a human can have
Without joining the mob
Please won't ya give me a job
Something I can tolerate
And my kids won't sob
Please won't ya give me a job
I got 9 hungry kids at home
And I'm about to rob
Please just a decent job
I got 9 hungry kids
And I'm about to sob
