"I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OFF WORK (And See My Baby On Montgomery Avenue)"
+9 +9 +9
Well, I don't mind work - ing, 'cause I used to be jerk - ing off most of my time in bars,
-5
I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a so-da foun-tain jock-jerk
+9 +9
And a man - ic me - chanic on cars.
+9 +9
It's nice work if you can get it, now who the hell said it?
I got mo - ney to spend on my gal__,
+
But the work never stops, and I'll be busting my chops work - ing for Joe and Sal.
+9 +9 +9
I can't wait to get off work and see my baby, she said she'd leave the porch light on for me.
+9 -5
I'm dishevelled and I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful,
+9
But this job sweeping up here is gain - fully em - ploy - ing me to - night.
+9 +9 +9
"Tom, do this", "Tom, do that", "Tom, don't do that!",
+9 +9
Count the cash, clean the o - ven, dump the trash, Oh your lov-ing
is a rare and a copa - cetic gift,
+
I'm a moon-light watch manic, it's hard to be ro-mantic
(tacet) (tacet)
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine, sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...
+9
I can't wait to get off work to see my ba-by,
+9 +9 +9
she'll be wait-ing up with a magazine for me.
-5
Clean the bath - rooms and clean 'em good, oh your lov-ing I wish you would
+9
Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet, this broom will have to be my ba - by,
+
If I hur-ry, I just might get off be-fore the daw - n's ear - ly light.
