take this job and shove it

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

my woman done left and took all of the reasons

that i was workin' for

you better not try to stand in my way

when i'm walkin' out the door

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

well

i've been working in this factory

pretty close to 15 years

i've seen some of my best friends women

drownin' in a pool of tears

i've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'

i had a lot of bills to pay

lord

i'd give the shirt right often my back

if i had the guts to say

say what?

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

my woman's done left and took all of the reasons

that i was workin' for

you better not try to stand in my way

when i'm walkin' out the door

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

the foreman is a regular s.o.b. and the night boss

he's a fool

he got himself a brand new flattop haircut

lord

he really thinks that's cool

one of these days i'm gonna blow my top

and that's shockin'

he's gonna pay it

well i can't wait to see their faces

when i get the nerve to say

say what?

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

my woman done left and took all of the reasons

that i was workin' for

you better not try to stand in my way

when i'm walkin' out the door

take this job and shove it

i ain't workin' here no more

take this job and shove it
