Workin’ Man’s Pay Warren Zevon

[Verse 1]
I tell you, buddy, it ain't no fun
Workin' all day in the hot-hot sun
It don't seem right a man should work all day
In the hot-hot sun earnin' workin' man's pay

[Chorus]
Workin' man's pay
Workin' man's pay
Swingin' that sledgehammer every day
A bottle of beer at the end of the day
And a naggin' woman
That's a workin' man's pay

[Verse 2]
I went to Hialeah with my pay in my hand
I bet all my money on an also-ran
Workin', workin' 'til you waste away
In the hot-hot sun
Earnin' workin' man's pay

[Chorus]
Workin' man's pay
Workin' man's pay
Swingin' that sledgehammer every day
It don't seem right that a man should work this way
In the hot-hot sun earlin' workin' man's pay
