being rhythmically admired
 and you can have anyone
 that you never desire
 all you gotta tell me now
 is why, why, why,why

 Welcome to the workin'week
 Oh I know it don't thrill you
 I hope it don't kill you
 Welcome to the workin'week
 You gotta do it til you're through it
 so you better get to it

 All of your family had to kill to survive
 and they're still waitin'
 for their big day to arrive
 But if they knew how I felt
 they'd burry me alive

 I hear you sayin'
 Hey the city is alright
 when you only read about it in books
 Spend all your money gettin'so convinced
 that you never even bother to look
 Sometimes I wonder if we're livin'
 in the same land
 Why d'you wanna be my friend
 when I feel like a juggler
 running out of hands?

 Welcome to the workin' week
 oh, welcome to the working week
