Artist: Silhouettes

Song: Get a Job

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

Mum mum mum mum mum mum

Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na

Every morning about this time

she get me out of my bed

a-crying get a job.

After breakfast, everyday,

she throws the want ads right my way

And never fails to say,

Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

Mum mum mum mum mum mum

Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na

And when I get the paper

I read it through and through

And my girl never fails to say

If there is any work for me,

And when I go back to the house

I hear the woman's mouth

Preaching and a crying,

Tell me that I'm lying 'bout a job

That I never could find.

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

Mum mum mum mum mum mum

Get a job Sha na na na, sha na na na na
