I don't know who sang it, and all I remember is the chorus: Work, work, work-work-work. Seems like that's all I do. Work, work, work-work-work, It's rough, I'm telling you, And it seems to me the more I work, The poorer I become. If I keep on working hard Some day I'll be a bum. Anyone recognize it? |

This is early R&B: WORK, WORK, WORK As sung by Lee Dorsey, 1965 (Work, work, work) (Work, work, work) 1. I look for a job both day an' night. I can't find nothin' that will suit me right. A little bit o' labor i'm not tryin' to shirk, But ev'rything i found seems too much like work. CHORUS: (Work, work, work) What you talkin' 'bout? (Work, work, work) Are you talkin' to me? (Work, work, work) Mm-hmm. (Work, work, work) Hey, hey, hey, hey. Does anybody here know somebody Who needs somebody who wants somebody to love? (Love, love, love) Now you talkin' now. (Love, love, love) 2. I need a little spendin' change ev'ry now and then. I ain't seen a quarter since who-knows-when. I asked my friends if they could spare a little cash, But all they ever do is stand around an' talk trash About— CHORUS |
