(chorus)

i don`t like the work but true i need the money
my life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
peolpe all around, telling me what to do
and all i want to do is stay at home with you

Time after time i say to myself
working all my life isn`t good for my health
get old, get tired, get put on the shelf
i do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth
wish i was on an island in the sun
where i woouldn`t have to worry how to get things done

(chorus)
I don`t like the work but true i need the money
my life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
peolpe all around, telling me what to do
and all i want to do is stay at home with you

Day after day becomes more of a grind
bills pile up, moneys harder to find
trying to get ahead money`s harder to find
if i don`t give it up i`m gonna lose my mind
wish i was on an island in the sun
where i wouldn`t have to worry how to get things done

(chorus)
I don`t like the work but true i need the money
my life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
peolpe all around, telling me what to do
and all i want to do is stay at home with you
