Here's what Gus Elen actually sings on the 1906 recording:

WAIT TILL THE WORK COMES ROUND
(Gus Elen)

Some people knuckle down through being out of work,
But I ain't one of them, not me.
If a gaffer starts to nag,
I soon packs up me bag
And I flops him one with this, you see...
It don't do to let people think you're on the rocks
Cause they're bound to turn their heads the other way.
But It makes no odds to me what the future's going to be
So long as I've got all I wants today...

Chorus 1:
So, what's the use of kicking up a row
If there ain't no work about?
If you can't get a job, you can rest in bed
Till the school kids all comes out.
[And] If you can't get work, you can't get the sack--
That's a hargument that's sensible and sound.
[So,] Lay your head back on your pillow,
And read your Daily Mirror;
And wait till the work comes round.

When trade is very rocky and you has to take the nocky,
It's best to face the music like a brick.
If your creditors come down on you for everything you owe,
You must bash them on the crumpet with a stick!
Some people walks about the streets, a-looking out for work
Till they haven't got a leg to call their own;
Instead of them a-waiting for the work to come to them,
With their feet stuck on the mantle-piece at home...

Chorus 2:
So, what's the use of kicking up a row
If there ain't no work about?
If you can't get a job, you can rest in bed
Till the school kids all comes out.
If you can't get work, you can't get the sack--
That's a hargument that's sensible and sound.
With the swells in Rotten Row
You can sit and have a blow
And wait till the work comes round.
