(stephen b. antonakos) The alarm clock crowed an hour ago I'm already running behind If this one-eyed ford doesn't start I'm never going to make it on time Show up late just once more The boss said he'd dock my pay I head in through the side door Grab my tools and i'm on my way I'm going to work I put my big boots on I'm going to work I will be working all day long Pa**ing the time 'til i get home When my baby talks real soft I take my big boots off Welcome to my steady job It's not what i would call a career Pick it up and put it there Pick it up and put it over here They hold my raise up to keep costs down And then they raise the price The squeaky wheel is spinning around I'm running like one of those mice Chorus Pay day comes once a week A day that i never miss Run to the bank, cash my check Got my money clutched in my fist One for you, one for me One for my uncle sam One for a ticket for the lottery It's all part of my plan Chorus
