[Verse 1]
        C                 G7+9          C          G7+9           C          G7+9    C     C
Well, I don't mind work - ing, 'cause I used to be jerk - ing off most of my time in bars,
            Bm7-5         E7               Am              D7
I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a so-da foun-tain jock-jerk
      G7+9            G7+9      C     G7
And a man - ic   me - chanic on cars.
          C               G7+9        C                 G7+9  
It's nice work if you can get it, now who the hell said it?
      Dm   Em     F     G#dim  Am7  Am7/G 
I got mo - ney to spend on my  gal__,
        F7+          F#dim            C          A7      Dm     Em      F  G#dim   C    G7    
But the work never stops, and I'll be busting my chops   work - ing for Joe  and   Sal.


[Verse 2]
        C               G7+9            C    G7+9                C               G7+9         C  
I can't wait to get off work and see my baby,     she said she'd leave the porch light on for me.
G7+9       Bm7-5               E7                 Am               D7
     I'm dishevelled and I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful,
        G7+9                     G         A7       Dm     Em  F  G7   C     
But this job sweeping up here is gain - fully  em - ploy - ing me to - night.


[Verse 3]
G7+9        C               G7+9           C               G7+9               
   "Tom, do this", "Tom, do that",   "Tom, don't do that!",
          C               G7+9              C              G7+9
Count the cash, clean the o - ven, dump the trash, Oh your lov-ing 
     Dm   Em    F      G#dim  Am7   Am7/G 
is a rare and a copa - cetic  gift,
      F7+              F#dim       C             A7      
I'm a moon-light watch manic, it's hard to be ro-mantic
D7 (tacet)                                 G7 (tacet)
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine, sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...


[Verse 4]
        C               G7+9            C    
I can't wait to get off work to see my ba-by,
G7+9           C                  G7+9              C        G7+9               
     she'll be wait-ing up with a magazine for me.
          Bm7-5                      E7            Am                 D7
Clean the bath - rooms and clean 'em good, oh your lov-ing I wish you would
     G7+9                     C       A7        Dm         Em      F  G#dim Am     Am7/G
Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet, this broom will have to be  my   ba - by,
     F7+            F#dim     C               Dm    Em  F     G  C
If I hur-ry, I just might get off be-fore the daw - n's ear - ly light.
