I DON'T WORK FOR A LIVING
(James Mullen and Edward Leroy Freeman)

CHORUS: I don't work for a living.
I get along alright without.
I don't toil all day
I suppose it's because
I'm not built that way.
Some people work for love and say
It's all sunshine and gain,
But if I can't get sunshine without any work,
I think I'll stay out in the rain!
 
1. They say we're all born with a purpose.
They say we're all born with a gift.
Some people like to be famous.
I suppose it's by hard work and thrift.
There's lots of us fighting and striving,
For a seat down in old A.C.T.,
But I've got a seat in my trousers,
And a missus to work for me!
 
2. Now give me a nail and a hammer,
And a picture to hang on the wall,
And give me a strong step ladder,
For you know that I might fall,
And give me a couple of waiters,
And a barrel of good old Bass Ale,
And I bet you I'll hang up that picture
If somebody drives the nail!
 
LAST CHORUS: I don't work for a living.
I get along alright without.
I live peacefully.
Labour disputes never worry me.
I love my family, and the missus, oh how I adore!
I decided to make them all happy -- that's why
I never go home anymore!^^
