I have to get up, get to the job
I have to put on my work clothes
I work in a kitchen from eight 'till ten
Go home for a minute just to do it again
How can I find peace of mind
I'm not even living on my own time
When something's done wrong, what can I say
Someone could send me back home today
I make the minumum wage
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
I wash the dishes, I mop the floors
I'm glad I'm alive, who could ask for more
I have God, he lives in me
Unhappy rich people there must be
Oooh la la, Oooh la lay
Forget about the future, work today
I'm not unhappy, why be sad
Think of all the good times that we've had
We work so hard
Yes, we work all day
We work so hard
But we need to stay
We work so hard
Yes, we work all day
We work so hard
But we need to stay
I wash the dishes, I mop the floors
I'm glad I'm alive, who could ask for more
I have God, he lives in me
Unhappy rich people there must be
Oooh la la, Oooh la lay
Forget the future, work today
I'm not unhappy, why be sad
Think of all the good times that we've had
I make the minumum wage
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
Don't you know that we
Work, we work
For the minimum wage
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
I said that we work, we work
For the minimum wage
