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 mate
Every 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 mate
Aint' 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 mate
If 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
