I hate to work, don't want your job.
Not gonna play your fool,
be a corporate cog.
Don't want no promotion, Ms.
not gonna learn the biz.
What don't you understand,
ties leave marks around my neck,
to beat the band.
I might as well admit it
my life's alot cooler
without your job in it.
Ladies and men,
let me say it again,
I hate to work.
You got somethin ''portant
on your mind,
no matter how terrific,
only fault
they gonna find
at that they are prolific.
You can't smoke  a cigarette at work,
can't hum a happy tune..
Folk breathin all the way down your neck,
day never end too soon.
Learnin how to make my money,
without punchin' a clock,
wearin a geeky haircut
'n' actin' funny.
Six ah one, a half dozen of the other
Don't need more bossy ladies
tellin' me what to do
Already got me too many mothers.
 that's  another reason why, I hate to work.
Computer down,
computer back up
race car smokes up and back 
with the red flag
coffee colder in your cup  Jack
what a drag.
I'm not gonna cut my hair
Cuz, I'm strictly wash and wear
I hate to work.
I won't be fillin' out no applications,
Won't see me leafin through no classifieds.
Doctor,
you can skip the blood pressure medications,
To get a job,
everything about me'd have to be
one bold faced lie.
that's why,
I hate to work.
Don't want no job.
Rather be sitting by the swimmin' pool.
Sippin' something sweet 
just me and you..
But, please,, don't make me work
too hard for it.
If it's not for free
it's not for me
you can keep your dirty cash
Can't you see?.
Cuz, i hate to work.
.
Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,
Thursday,Friday,Saturday,
Oh,here come another seven day, busman's holiday.
I won't be workin your lands,
nor plowin your fields
I won't be shakin no hands
or cuttin' dirty done deals.
Cuz, I hate to work.

I'm not pushin your wet greasy mop bucket
Sorry, about your job, bossman.
I'm  gonna have to take a pass 
and chuck it.
Don't need your 
blue chip preferred stock
I won't be punchin' in or out of your silly time clock.
I'm going to take another day, another week
another month, then another year and a day 
off from work 
cause, ladies and men
I'll say it once and again
I hate to work.
