Chorus: take this job and shove it/ i aint workin here no more
my woman done left and took all of the reasons i was working for
you better not try to stand in my way/ when i walk out the door
take this job and shove it/ i aint workin here no more
i been working in this factory/ pretty close to 15 years
ive some of my best friends women/ standing in a pool of tears
ive seen a lot of kinfolks dying/ i had a lot of bills to pay
lord, id give the shirt right offin my back/ if i had the nerve to say:
repeat chorus
the foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss, hes a fool
he got himself a brand new flattop haircut
lord, he really thinks thats cool
one of these days im gonna blow my top
and theres gonna be hell to pay
i cant wait to see their faces when i get the nerve to say
repeat chorus
take this job and shove it . . .
