every morning about this time
she get me out of my bed
a-crying get a job.
after breakfast, everyday,
she throws the want ads right my way
and never fails to say,
get a job sha na na na, sha na na na na
sha na na na, sha na na na na,

mum mum mum mum mum mum
get a job sha na na na, sha na na na na
and when i get the paper
i read it through and through
and my girl never fails to say
if there is any work for me,
and when i go back to the house
i hear the woman's mouth
preaching and a crying,
tell me that i'm lying 'bout a job
that i never could find.

sha na na na, sha na na na na,
yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip
mum mum mum mum mum mum
get a job sha na na na, sha na na na na
