LYRICS

Hey now, you'd better listen to me, every one of you We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do Forget about your women & that water can Today you're workin' for the man Well pick up your feet, we've got a deadline to meet I wanna see you make it on time Oh don't relax, I want elbows & backs I wanna see everybody from behind 'Cause you're workin' for the man, workin' for the man You gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man So I'm pickin' 'em up & I'm layin' 'em down I believe he's gonna work me into the ground I pull to the left, I heave to the right I oughta kill him but it wouldn't be right 'Cause I'm workin' for the man, workin' for the man I gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man Well the boss' daughter sneaks in deep water Every time her daddy's down the line She says "Meet me tonight, love me right & everything is gonna be fine" So I slave all day without much pay I'm just a-bidin' my time 'Cause the company & the daughter you see They're 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 I'm workin' for the man, workin' for the man I gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man
