WORKIN LIKE A DOG
By Michael Leybick copyright 2012
Well Im workin like a dog
With no end in sight
Im bustin my tail on Monday through Friday
So I can have my Saturday night
But when Saturday comes and the boss man tells me
Boy youre workin tonight
I say No can do, aint no way, I just aint feelin right
Ive go whooping cough, chicken pox, small pox
And I got a whole lot of allergies
I got pigeon toes, runny nose, and a little vertigo
That big time mental disease
I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
And a pain down in my side
I know if I would work tonight
I would surely die
Well Im workin, workinworkin like a dog
Its drivin me crazy-Its a stinkin nasty job
Well boss man I aint right
I feel so bad tonight
I got arthritis, tendonitis, gingivitis
And I got a split personality
I got cataracts, heart attacks,
And a nasty achin back
And hoof and mouth disease
If that just aint bad enough
I think Im goin insane
I got a friend named Willy
This may sound silly
But hes livin in my brain
Well Im workin, workinworkin like a dog
Its drivin me crazy-Its a stinkin nasty job
Well boss man I aint right
I feel so bad tonight
I got constipation, high frustration,
Trouble with my concentration
And Im feelin sad
I got hypertension, apprehension, not to mention
Oh those itchy feet Ive had
I got broken bones. Kidney stones,
And water in my knees I just cant go to work tonight
Im one big major disease
Well Im workin, workinworkin like a dog
Its drivin me crazy-Its a stinkin nasty job
Well boss man I aint right
I feel so bad tonight
