Build it up, knock it down

Hold it square, roll it around

Throw it in the air, stick it in the ground



But it's too bad, I can't get mad

Cause I'm a roustabout



Tie it loose, make it tight

If it's wrong, do it right

Makes me kinda feel like I wanna fight



But it's too bad, I can't get mad

Cause I'm a roustabout



Orders all day and half the night, from the boss

That guys cousin don't wanna see one minute lost



Stack it up, in the rig

Better still, bring it here

Wanna take it out stick it in his ear



But it's too bad, I can't get mad

Cause I'm a roustabout



A handyman is all I am around this place

Every time I turn around he's right up in my face



Bring it in, drag it out

When I'm slow, boy he shouts

Gettin aweful tired runnin' in and out



But it's too bad, I can't get mad

Cause I'm a roustabout
