Take This Job And Shove It

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

My woman done left and took all of the reasons

That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way

When I'm walkin' out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

Well, I've been working in this factory

Pretty close to 15 years

I've seen some of my best friends women

Drownin' in a pool of tears

I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'

I had a lot of bills to pay

Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back

If I had the guts to say, say what?

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

My woman's done left and took all of the reasons

That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way

When I'm walkin' out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

The foreman is a regular S.O.B.

And the night boss, he's a fool

He got himself a brand new flattop haircut

Lord, he really thinks that's cool

One of these days I'm gonna blow my top

And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it

Well I can't wait to see their faces

When I get the nerve to say, say what?

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

My woman done left and took all of the reasons

That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way

When I'm walkin' out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't workin' here no more

Take this job and shove it
