"Workin' 'n' Playin'" lyrics

"Workin' 'n' Playin'"

Workin' and playin'
Playin' and workin'
Workin' and playin'

Well, it wasn't by choice that I was born on Christmas
I popped out in Panama floatin' through the isthmus
My daddy was a navy man, my momma was a nurse
And they named me Present but I have heard worse

Call it a gift like gold egg layin' and I don't see the difference
Between workin' and playin'
It's the same to me
Playin' and workin'
Simultaneously
Workin' and playin'
Feels so fine, I think I'll play a little overtime

(Na na na na na...)

I got parochial schooled on permission and forgiveness
But the nuns said fun ain't none of your business
So I got motivated gonna prove 'em all wrong
I made a real big deal out of a little beach song
The subliminal point I'm here to be making

I just love workin' and playin'
It's the same to me
Playin' and workin'
Simultaneously
Workin' and playin'
Feels so fine
I think I'll play a little overtime

County fair cowboy, guess what you're weighin'
Highwire act, twirlin' and swayin'
Pretty girls winkin', nuns prayin'
I'm a lucky son of a son to be

Workin' and playin'
Playin' and workin'
Workin' and playin'
Feels so fine, I think I'll work a little overtime

Workin' and playin'
All the same to me
Playin and workin'
Simultaneously
Workin' and playin'
Feels so fine, I think I'll play a little overtime

(Na na na na na...)
