Today is the day I go out to meet the guy
For job potential number one
I read that there description before I applied
And I've got what it takes to get it done
The pay is great, the location's fine, the job is really swell
And the job and I can grow in the long run
Reading it all again and again, I had a big smile on my face
And thought aloud, "At last I've finally won"
So I dress well, I ate well
I got there really early
Said a nice prayer before leaving the car
I got to the office, met the guy
Shook his hand and gave a smile
He talked, I talked and this is how it went ...
Today is the day I go out to meet the gal
For job potential number two
I read that there description before I applied
And I've got what it takes to see it through
The pay's ample, the location decent and the job is standard fare
There wasn't much I already didn't knew
But the job was really narrow and its future seemed really short
But a job's a job and at least I'll get my due
So I dress well, I ate well
I got there nice and early
Said a quick prayer before leaving the car
I got to the office, met the gal
Shook her hand and gave a smile
She talked, I talked and this is how it went ...
Today is the day I got out to meet the … uh, whatever
For job potential number three
I read that there description and was reluctant to apply
But I did it all the same … at least it was free
The pay is downright lousy … it's like going back in time
And the job itself … it reeks of stupidity
To tell you the honest truth, I felt insulted by the job
So why apply? Well the job wasn't that far from me
So I dress well, I ate alright
I got there … in the nick of time
Said a quick prayer before leaving the car
I got to the office, no one was there
No hand to shake but I gave a smile
At the front desk … and this is how it went ...
