Nice Work If You Can Get It

Running up the expenses Running off at the mouth Running out of resources And heading South Sticking out your neck for me Sticking it to the man Sticking to a story I don't understand Sticking to the plan I know I am expected to go All for one for the show Am I going to regret it? Either way, the ship is sailing today And I hear what they say Nice work, if you can get it Showing offs half the battle Showing up doesn't pay Showing in those invited But they can't stay Pressing each other's buttons Pressing on in the hopes Pressing problems keep us pressing on the ropes That's how one copes I know I am expected to go All for one for the show Am I going to regret it? Either way, the ship is sailing today And I hear what they say Nice work, if you can get it Turning into what I hate Turning water to wine Turning right on a red, turning on a dime Turning one more time Turning on my dime
