Moe Hirsch	Lyr Req: Where Do You Work-A, John? (17)	RE: Lyr Req: Delaware Lackawan	11 Jun 11
In the 1930s my parents had a record of "Where Do You Work a-John?" which had the intro "A long time ago ...", the choruses about the Delaware Lackawan' and Telephone Company, and also this chorus making fun of Roosevelt's WPA: Where do you work a-Jay? On the double-a-u p-a What do you do a-Jay? I joost, I joost I joost. What do you joost, a-Jay? I joost-a collect-a my pay! Where do you joost a-jay? On --- the double-a-u p-a,p-a, p-a, p-a, The double-a-u p-a! Republicans disliked the WPA, claiming workers were being paid for not working.
