Hey now
You better listen to me, every one of you
We got a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of work to do
Forget about your women, and that water can
Today you're working for the man
Well pick up your feet, we got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Oh, don't relax, I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind
'Cause you're working for the man, working for the man
Yea, gotta make him a hand, when ya working for the man
So, I’m picking them up, and I'm laying them down
I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pulled to the left, and I heaved to the right
I ought to kill him but it wouldn't be right
'Cause I'm working for the man, working for the man
I gotta make him a hand, when ya working for the man
Well, the Bossman’s daughter sneaks me water
Every time her daddy’s down the line
She says "Meet me tonight
Love me right
And everything's gonna be fine."
So I slave all day, without much pay, I'm just abiding my time
'Cause the company and the daughter, you see
They both gonna be all mine
Yeah, I'm gonna be the man, gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand, If I’m gonna be the man
Working for the man, working for the man
I gotta make him a hand, when ya working for the man
I gotta make him a hand, when ya working for the man
You better listen to me, every one of you
We got a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of work to do
Forget about your women, and that water can
Today you're working for the man
Well pick up your feet, we got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Oh, don't relax, I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind
'Cause you're working for the man, working for the man
