"Take This Job And Shove It" lyrics

"Take This Job And Shove It"

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman left and took all the reasons
I've been working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman left and took all the reasons
I've been working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

I've been working in this factory
From now on fifteen years
All this time, I've seen my woman
Drowning in her tears
I've seen a lot of good people die
Who had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the nerve to say:

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman left and took all the reasons
I've been working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

That foreman, he's a regular dog
That line boss, he's a fool
Got brand-new skinhead haircuts
Thinks that he looks so cool
One of these days, I'll blow my top
Or somebody's gonna pay
I'd hate to see the look on his face
When I enter the factory and say:

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman left and took all the reasons
I've been working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here
Ain't working here
Ain't working here no more
