[Verse 1]
I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back
Workin' and workin' for the big payback

[Verse 2]
I keep a-puttin' and a-puttin' out
I keep a-sweatin' like all get out
I work so long that I'm a-losin' track
Waitin', waitin' on the big payback

[Chorus]
Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train rumblin' down this track
They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back
Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

[Verse 3]
Oh, what my foreman does, well, I don't know
He just throws me a shovel and yells, "Go, Bobby, go"
Oh well—a-all day long he's just a diddy wack wack
While I, I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback

[Chorus]
Hey, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam
It's a gone dead train rumblin' down the track
They got your neck in the noose, you're hands are tied up in back
And you're a-workin' and workin' for the big payback
