Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do Forget about your woman and that water can Today were working for the man Well pick up your feet We've got a deadline to meet I'm gonna see you make it on time Don't relax I want elbows and backs I wanna see everybody from behind 'Cause your working for the man working for the man You gotta make him a hand when you're working for the man Oh well I'm pickin' 'em up and I'm laying 'em down I believe he's gonna work me into the ground I pull to the left I heave to the right I wanna k** him but it wouldn't be right
'Cause I'm working for the man working for the man Gotta make him a hand when you're working for the man Well the boss man's daughter sneaks me water Everytime her daddy's down the line She says meet me tonight love a me right And everything is gonna be fine So I slave all day without much pay 'cause I'm just abiding my time 'cause the company and the daughter you see Their both gonna be all mine Yeah I'm gonna be the man gonna be the man Gotta make him a hand if I'm gonna be the man Working for the man working for the man Gonna be the man gonna be the man Gotta make him a hand working for the man
