Текст песни

I tell you, buddy, it ain't no fun

Working all day in the hot-hot sun

It don't seem right a man should work all day

In the hot-hot sun earning working man's pay

Working man's pay

Swinging that sledgehammer every day

A bottle of beer at the end of the day

And a nagging woman

That's a working man's pay

I went to Hialeah with my pay in my hand

I bet all my money on an also-ran

Working, working 'til you waste away

In the hot-hot sun

Earning working man's pay

Working man's pay

Swinging that sledgehammer every day

It don't seem right that a man should work this way

In the hot-hot sun earning working man's pay

I ain't got much, but I ain't no thief

And my old woman ain't long to leave

So while you hippies are picking flowers

Remember some jerks working working man's hours

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

I tell you, buddy, it ain't no fun

Working all day in the hot-hot sun

It don't seem right a man should work all day

In the hot-hot sun earning working man's pay

Working man's pay

Swinging that sledgehammer every day

A bottle of beer at the end of the day

And a nagging woman

That's a working man's pay
