Lyrics

Hey now, you'd better listen to me every one of you We've got a lotta, lotta, lotta, lotta work to do Forget about your women and your water can Today you're workin' for the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm a-pickin' 'em up And I'm layin' 'em down I believe he's gonna work me into the ground Now I'ma pull to the left Heave to the right I wanna kill him, but it wouldn't be right 'Cause I'm workin' for the man Workin' for the man I gotta lend him a hand Workin' for the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh) Pick up your feet We got a deadline to meet I'm gonna see you make it on time And now, don't relax I want elbows and backs I wanna see everybody from behind 'Cause you're workin' for the man Workin' for the man You gotta lend him a hand Workin' for the man Boss man's daughter sneaks in the water Every time her daddy's down the line She says, "Meet me tonight, love me right And everything's gonna be fine" So I slave all day without much pay I'm just a-bidin' my time 'Cause company and the daughter, you see Are both gonna be all mine Yeah, I'm gonna be the man Gonna be the man You gotta lend me a hand If I'm gonna be the man Yeah, I'm gonna be the man Gonna be the man Gotta lend me a hand If I'm gonna be the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh) Pickin' 'em up (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Before layin' 'em down (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Working for the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh) For the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Working for the man (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
