working

I been working all day for me mate on the site

Running around like a blue arsed fly

I been working

And I been working all day for me mateEvery bleeding minute I been on the go

Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow

I been working

I been working all day for me mate[Chorus]

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten

When I sign on, but until then

I'll be working

I'll be working all day for me mateAint' got no cards, don't pay no tax

For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back

I been working

And I been working all day for me mate

Call me a crook, call me bent

But I need more than food and rent

I been working

And I been working all day for me mate[Chorus]They try to follow me every day

I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way

None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong

'Coz every one of 'em's signing on[Chorus]They try to follow me every day

I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way

None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong

'Coz every one of 'em's signing on[Chorus]The benefit boys are out of touch

What they don't know won't hurt 'em much

I been working

And I been working all day for me mateIf I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three

But they'll still Be paying out looking after me

I been working

And I been working all day for me mate[Chorus]
