I've got street credibility
I mey not have a job
But I have a good time
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I DONT NEED YOU
So you don't approve
Well, who asked you to?
HEY,JERK YOU WORK
This guys got better things to do
HELL
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose to cruise
Gonna live my life sharp as a knife
I've found the groove and I just can't lose
I'm style from head to toe
Cool cat flash gonna let you know
I'm a soul boy-i'm a dole boy-
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy
WHAM
BAM
I AM
A MAN
JOB OR NO JOB
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT
DO
YOU
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT
JUST STOP
DON'T STAY THERE AND ROT
Party nights and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls
Hot-damn! everybody, lets play
So they promised you a good job-NO WAY
One,two, three, rap
C'mon everybody DON"T NEED THIS CRAP
WHAM
BAM
I AM
A MAN
JOB OR NO JOB
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT
DO

ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT
JUST STOP
DON'T STAY THERE AND ROT
IF YOUR A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLAK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRIBLY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON'T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE WHAM A BAM BUT DON'T
GIVE A DAMN 'COS THE BENEFIT GANG

Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart(so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart(too bad)
Just throw the dice take my advice
'Cos I know that you're smart
Can you ding this thing? (YEAH!)
Are you gonna get down? (YEAH!)
