Lyrics Don’t Bug Me When I’m Working (First Encore) [Remastered] - Live - Little Village

This is a little song about tryin' to get a job done
And people comin' up and wonderin' what you're up to
And what you're doing, and how come you're doing that for a living
And how much money do you make, and what is that little thing you're making there?
And so on and so forth
And all we got to say about that is, just don't bug me when I'm working!

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
I got a job to do

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
I don't work for you

If you bug me to work
I can't get it done
I'll be too tired baby
To have any fun

If you've got complaints better keep 'em hid
Don't come round, mess with the kid

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
I got a job to do

Don't bug me when I'm sleeping
I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping
Don't bug me when I'm sleeping
'Cause I need my rest

I said don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
I got a job to do

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Well tell 'em about it, Ry

Now you bug me at home
I'm tired and beat
Can't even stand on my own two feet
You call on the phone, you make me uptight
I can't even work with my baby at night

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Got a job to do

Don't bug me when I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
I don't work for you

The sound of the tone
Better hang up your precious phone
If you wanna be my friend

Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me

Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working

Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working
Don't bug me when I'm working

I don't know man
You mean at the sound of the tone and
When that whistle blows
Means I gotta get up and go to work again
Tomorrow morning?

Next we're gonna sing you one about a horrible condition
Awh it's not so bad really is it, Nick?
Oh in a horrible state
Yeah, it's called, "Half a Boy, and Half a Man"
