Take This Job an' Shove It Songtext
von Johnny Paycheck

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

I've been working in this factory
For now 15 years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears

And I've seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I′d give the shirt right off my back
If I had the guts to say


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

Well, the foreman he's a riggity dog
The line boss, he′s a fool
He has got a brand-new flattop hair cut
Lord, he thinks he's cool

One of these days, I′m gonna blow my top
And that sucker, he's gonna pay
Lord, I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say

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

Take this job and shove it
