Take This Job And Shove It

Take this job and shove it

I aint workin here no more

My woman done left and took all of the reasons i was working for

You better not try to stand in my way

when i walk out the door

Take this job and shove it

i aint workin here no more



I been working in this factory

pretty close to 15 years

Ive left some of my best friends women

Standing in a pool of tears

Ive seen a lot of kinfolks dying

i had a lot of bills to pay

Lord, id give the shirt right offin my back

if i had the nerve to say:



Repeat chorus



The foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss, hes a fool

He got himself a brand new flattop haircut

Lord, he really thinks thats cool

One of these days im gonna blow my top

And theres gonna be hell to pay

I cant wait to see their faces when i get the nerve to say



Repeat chorus



Take this job and shove it . . .
