Take This Job & Shove It Songtext
von Johnny Paycheck

Take this job and shove it
I ain′t workin' here, no more
My woman done left, and took all the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try, to stand in my way
As I′m walkin', out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin′ here, no more

I been working, in this factory
For now on, fifteen years
All this time, I watched my woman
Drownin′, in a pool of tears
And I've seen, a lot of good folk die
Who had a lot of bills, to pay
I′d give the shirt, right off of my back
If I had the guts, to say


Take this job, and shove it
I ain't workin′ here, no more
My woman done left, and took all the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try, to stand in my way
As I'm walkin′, out the door
Take this job, and shove it
I ain't workin' here, no more

The foreman, he′s a regular dog
The line boss, he′s a fool
He got a flat top haircut
Oh, the boy thinks he's cool
One of these days, I′m gonna blow my top
And that sucker, he's gonna pay
I can′t wait, until I get the nerve
To walk up to him, and say

Take this job, and shove it
I ain't workin′ here, no more
My woman done left, took the reasons
I was working for
Ya better not try, to stand in my way
As I'm walkin', out the door
Take this job, and shove it
I ain′t workin′ here, no more

Take this job, and shove it!
