I've been laying on my back 

Like a freight train off a track 

Trying to find a job to fit my trade 

With the morning sun come 'round 

Well I'll be covering plenty of ground 

And I don't need nobody to pay my aid 

Mmmm pay my aid 



Now Bess and me were feeling bad 

And all the good jobs they were had 

I had to take to sweeping up some floors 

Well I don't mind that so much 

Or the changing of my luck 

But you know I could be doing so much more 



Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba 

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba 

Bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip 



Well I'll be coming home tonight 

Everything will be all right 

And we'll be looking at tomorrow
