Well, I don't mind working cause I used to be jerkin' off 

Cmaj7      Ebmaj7      Cmaj7 
most of my time in the bars 

            Dm7          G7                Am            Am7/G 
I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda fountain jock jerk 

      D9       G6       G7 
and a manic mechanic on cars 

          Cmaj7           Ebmaj7        Cmaj7        Ebmaj7 
It's nice work if you can get it - Now, who the hell said it 

      Dm7 Em     F     G7    Am   Am7/G 
I got mo- ney to spend on my gal 

        Dm7        G7                C          A7 
but the work never stops and I'll be busting my chops 

Dm Em       F   G9  C   G7 
working for Joe and Sal 

            Cmaj7           Ebmaj7          Cmaj7   Ebmaj7 
And I can't wait to get off work and see my baby 

               Cmaj7        Ebmaj7          Cmaj7   Ebmaj7 
she said she'd leave the porch light on for me 

      Dm7              G7                Am                Am7/G 
I'm disheveled, I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful 

         D9           G6         A7          Dm  Em  F  G7  C    G7 
but this job sweeping up here is gainfully employing me to- night 

       Cmaj7        Ebmaj7     Cmaj7         Ebmaj7 
Tom do this! Tom do that! Tom, don't do that 

          Cmaj7           Ebmaj7         Cmaj7          Ebmaj7 
count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash, oh your lovin' 

     Dm7  Em    F   G9    Am   Am7/G 
is a rare and a copasetic gift 

          Dm             G7           C            A7 
and I'm a moonlight watchmanic - It's hard to be romantic

D9 
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine

G7
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine 

        Cmaj7           Ebmaj7          Cmaj7    Ebmaj7 
I can't wait to get off work and see my baby 

          Cmaj7             Ebmaj7       Cmaj7   Ebmaj7 
she'll be waiting up with a magazine for me 

          Dm7                  G7 
clean the bathrooms, clean 'em good 

      Am                 Am7/G        D9            C        Em     A7 
Oh my lovin', I wish you would - Come down here and sweep me off my feet 

     Dm         Em      F  G9 Am    Am7/G 
This broom will have to be my baby 

     Dm7           G7        Em    A7       Dm  Em  F  G7 C 
If I hurry, I just might get off before the da- wns early light
