TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT
Written by David Allan Coe

Substitute genders, etc, where applicable.

CHORUS: Take this job and shove it. I ain't 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 ain't workin' here no more.

I been working in this factory pretty close to 15 years.
I've seen some of my best friends' women standing in a pool of tears.
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dying. I had a lot of bills to pay.
Lord, I'd give the shirt right off'n my back if I had the nerve to say:

REPEAT CHORUS

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 there's gonna be hell to pay.
I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say:

REPEAT CHORUS

Take this job and shove it....
