Doncha Get Tired Songtext
von Chubby Checker

One day I know it′s gonna get me down
Every day I get up, huh, and I hear that sound
Work on and don't you get tired
Up in the mornin′ 'bout a half past six

(Work on and don't you get tired)
Got to get goin′, got to go real quick
(Work on and don′t you get tired)
Got no time, got to make my pay
(Work on and don't you get tired)
I′ll be workin' ′til my dyin' day

Don′t wanna work, don't wanna get by it
(Work on and don't you get tired)


Work so hard for my pay (Oh, Lordy)
I hear the big boss say (Huh, huh)
Work out my backbone every day
One day they′re gonna run a good man away, sing it

(Work on and don′t you get tired)
Labor's such a tiresome bore
(Work on and don′t you get tired)
I owe my bankroll to the grocery store
(Work on and don't you get tired)
Some day I won′t have to work no more
(Work on and don't you get tired)
Saint Peter won′t know if I'm rich or poor

Don't wanna work, don′t wanna get by it
(Work on and don′t you get tired)

One day I know it's gonna get me down
Every day I get up, huh, and I hear that sound
Work on and don′t you get tired
