Lyrics
We found keys to the kingdom hidden in Appletown
They unlocked the boredom cause it can get cha down
Yearning for a purpose, and a little more time to play
We didn?t look for mischief unless it came our way
We got our kicks
With pranks and tricks
Sometimes we'd have to run--from
All those chores-- made me want to shout
(Cause) Working Hard Ain?t Working Out
Finding fun was what it?s all about
Working Hard Ain?t Working Out
You keep your nose to the grindstone is what my daddy said
But with all that sweat and labor, I crawled back to bed
Mama said, son grow up, time to be a man
You can?t spend forever living in Neverland
We pushed our luck
When we got stuck
We?d have to duck and run--cause
Just the thought made me want to shout
(Cause) Working Hard Ain?t Working Out
That same routine I could do without
Working Hard Ain?t Working Out
