25 Oct 02 - 03:05 AM (#810823) Subject: Lyr Add: ARE YOU WORKING? (NO! ARE YOU?) From: Bugsy Since this world began of phrases we have had our share. "Let them eat cake" and "On your bike!" and "Lord I do declare". But now the latest thing you'll hear as you walk down the street, You can't be up to date if you don't call out when you meet. chor: Are you working, no are you, Are you working, no are you, Oh, Oh, everywhere you go, When you meet a pal you say Hello, Hello, Are you working, no are you, Three cheers for the red white and blue, Tell me the old old story Are you working, no are you Now Jones he married Mary Ann and twelve months after that, Something new arrived to liven up the flat. A bonny bouncing baby boy, when he could hardly speak, Looked up at his papa and said in accent rather weak Chor.............. Now Katie Brown she ran through town the day she finished school She couldn't wait to get a job she knew she was no fool But day by day to her dismay ther were no jobs about And passing by the playground she could hear the kids all shout Chor............. Well back in Nineteen Twenty Two when first this song was sung There wasn't any work about for my old Dad and Mum. Now they sit and listen and these words they still are true What do we say to our kids when they ask of me and you CHor CHeers \ Bugsy |
