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

Gmaj7      A#maj7      Gmaj7 
most of my time in the bars 

            Am7          D7                Bm            Em7/D 
I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda fountain jock jerk 

      A9       D6       D7 
and a manic mechanic on cars 

          Gmaj7           A#maj7        Gmaj7        A#maj7 
It's nice work if you can get it - Now, who the hell said it 

      Am7 Bm     G     D7    Bm   Em7/D 
I got mo- ney to spend on my gal 

        Am7        D7                G          E7 
but the work never stops and I'll be busting my chops 

Am Bm       G   D9  G   D7 
working for Joe and Sal 

            Gmaj7           A#maj7          Gmaj7   A#maj7 
And I can't wait to get off work and see my baby 

               Gmaj7        A#maj7          Gmaj7   A#maj7 
she said she'd leave the porch light on for me 

      Am7              D7                Bm                Em7/D 
I'm disheveled, I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful 

         A9           D6         E7          Am  Bm  G  D7  G    D7 
but this job sweeping up here is gainfully employing me to- night 

       Gmaj7        A#maj7     Gmaj7         A#maj7 
Tom do this! Tom do that! Tom, don't do that 

          Gmaj7           A#maj7         Gmaj7          A#maj7 
count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash, oh your lovin' 

     Am7  Bm    G   D9    Bm   Em7/D 
is a rare and a copasetic gift 

          Am             D7           G            E7 
and I'm a moonlight watchmanic - It's hard to be romantic

Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine

D7
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine 

        Gmaj7           A#maj7          Gmaj7    A#maj7 
I can't wait to get off work and see my baby

she'll be waiting up with a magazine for me

This broom will have to be my baby 

     Am7           D7        Bm    E7       Am  Bm  G  D7 G 
If I hurry, I just might get off before the da- wns early light
