oh how i’d love it girl just you and me
take the day and fly
but oh this job it’s got the best of me
tell you why tell you why
somebody above is in a desperate state
some kind of urgency the kind that won’t wait
i say tomorrow he say today
and the man in my head well he tell me no way
keep working
i got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
will you leave me in peace while i get the work done
can’t you see i’m working
oh oh i’m working on it
oh oh i’m working on it
well they’re coming from above me
and they’re coming from below
yea they’re in there right behind me
everywhere that i go
and my buddy he’s screaming down the telephone line
he say gimme gimme gimme
i say i ain’t got the time
oh oh can’t you see i’m working on it
oh oh i’m working on it
yea yea oh tell ’em
how i’d love it girl just you and me
take the day and fly
but oh this job it’s got the best of me
tell you why
well they’re coming from above me
and they’re coming from below
yea they’re in there right behind me
everywhere that i go
my buddy he’s screaming down the telephone line
he say gimme gimme gimme
i say i ain’t got the time
oh oh can’t you see i’m working on it
oh oh i’m working on it
oh oh i’m working
oh oh can’t you see i’m working on it
