13 Song Lyrics About Work (as in a career, a job, or an occupation--repeats okay if not consecutive) __________________________
01. "Working in a Coal Mine"
Working in a coal mine Goin' down, down, down Working in a coal mine Whoops! About to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin' I'm already up and gone Lordy I'm so tired How long can this go on? (Writer: Allen Toussaint Performed by Lee Dorsey (and many years later by Devo (!))
02. "I'm an old cowhand" - Bing Crosby
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how Sure ain't a fixing to start in now Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand I'm a riding fool who is up to date I know every trail in the Lone Star State 'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V 8 Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah
03. "Chinese Laundry Blues" - George Formby
Now Mr. Wu was a laundry man in a shop with an old green door. He'll iron all day your linen away, he really makes me sore. He's lost his heart to a Chinese girl and his laundry's all gone wrong. All day he'll flirt and scorch your shirt, that's why I'm singing this song. Oh Mr. Wu, what shall I do, I'm feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese Laundry Blues.
04. "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues." - Jim Croce
Well, I just got out of the county prison Doin' 90 days, for non-support. Tried to get me an executive position But, no matter how smooth I talked, They wouldn't listen to the fact that I'm a genius. They said "We've got all that we can use."
Now, I got them steadily depressin, low-down mind messin' Workin' at the car wash blues.
05. "Sixteen Tons" - Tennessee Ernie Ford
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!"
You load sixteen tons, whattaya get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store

06. "When I'm Cleaning Windows" - George Formby
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job Now it's a job that just suits me A window cleaner you would be If you can see what I can see When I'm cleanin' windows Honeymoonin' couples too You should see them bill 'n coo You'd be surprised at things they do When I'm cleanin' windows

08. "Hole in the Ground" - Bernard Cribbins
There I was, a-digging this hole A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was There was I, digging it deep It was flat at at the bottom and the sides were steep When along, comes this bloke in a bowler which he lifted and scratched his head Well he looked down the hole, poor demented soul and he said
Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere You're digging it round and it ought to be square The shape of it's wrong, it's much much too long And you can't put a hole where a hole don't belong

Brief interruption here, with a request: please be sure to list each song's lyricist(s), if known (if it's traditional, please indicate that). Composer(s) are also good to know, but this game is about LYRICS, so we'd like to know who wrote them. Thank you!

09. "Big boss man" - Grateful Dead - songwriting credited to Luther Dixon and Al Smith.
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all. You got me working boss man, a workin' around the clock, I want a little drink of whiskey, you sure won't let me stop. Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call? You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all. I'm gonna get me a boss man, one gonna treat me right, I work hard in the daytime, sure get drunk at night. You ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all.
10. "Ooh, My Feet" - From The Most Happy Fella (Lyrics (and music) by Frank Loesser)
Ooh, my feet! My poor, poor feet Betcha your life a waitress earns her pay I been on my feet, my poor, poor feet, All day long today!
Ooh, my toes! My poor, poor toes How can I give the service with a smile? When I'm on my toes, my poor, poor toes Mile after mile after mile after mile!
11. Heigh-Ho (from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs) "We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the Whole day through To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do It ain't no trick to get rich quick If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! Where a million diamonds shine!"

13 Song Lyrics About Work (as in a career, a job, or an occupation--repeats okay if not consecutive) __________________________
01. "Working in a Coal Mine" - (Writer: Allen Toussaint Performed by Lee Dorsey (and many years later by Devo (!))
Working in a coal mine Goin' down, down, down Working in a coal mine Whoops! About to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin' I'm already up and gone Lordy I'm so tired How long can this go on?
02. "I'm an old cowhand" - Bing Crosby - written by Johnny Mercer
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how Sure ain't a fixing to start in now Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand I'm a riding fool who is up to date I know every trail in the Lone Star State 'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V 8 Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah
03. "Chinese Laundry Blues" - George Formby - written by Jack Cotterill (or Cottrell)
Now Mr. Wu was a laundry man in a shop with an old green door. He'll iron all day your linen away, he really makes me sore. He's lost his heart to a Chinese girl and his laundry's all gone wrong. All day he'll flirt and scorch your shirt, that's why I'm singing this song. Oh Mr. Wu, what shall I do, I'm feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese Laundry Blues.
04. "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues." - written by Jim Croce
Well, I just got out of the county prison Doin' 90 days, for non-support. Tried to get me an executive position But, no matter how smooth I talked, They wouldn't listen to the fact that I'm a genius. They said "We've got all that we can use."
Now, I got them steadily depressin, low-down mind messin' Workin' at the car wash blues.
05. "Sixteen Tons" - Tennessee Ernie Ford - written by Merle Travis
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!"
You load sixteen tons, whattaya get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
06. "When I'm Cleaning Windows" - George Formby - written by Formby, Harry Gifford and Fred E. Cliffe
Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job Now it's a job that just suits me A window cleaner you would be If you can see what I can see When I'm cleanin' windows Honeymoonin' couples too You should see them bill 'n coo You'd be surprised at things they do When I'm cleanin' windows
07. "Working 9 to 5" - written and performed by Dolly Parton
Working 9 to 5, What a way to earn a living. Barely getting by, It's a taking, and no giving. They just use your mind, And they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy, If you let it.
08. "Hole in the Ground" - Bernard Cribbins - written by Myles Rudge and composed by Ted Dicks
There I was, a-digging this hole A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was There was I, digging it deep It was flat at at the bottom and the sides were steep When along, comes this bloke in a bowler which he lifted and scratched his head Well he looked down the hole, poor demented soul and he said
Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere You're digging it round and it ought to be square The shape of it's wrong, it's much much too long And you can't put a hole where a hole don't belong

"Heigh-Ho" - from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs - Frank Churchill (music) and Larry Morey (lyrics) We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the Whole day through To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do It ain't no trick to get rich quick If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! Where a million diamonds shine!
12. "The G. I. Jive" - Louis Jordan - Music and lyrics by Johnny Mercer
This is the G. I. Jive Man alive It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive Jack, that's the G. I. Jive Roodley-toot Jump in your suit Make a salute Boot
After you wash and dress More or less You go get your breakfast in a beautiful little caf? they call "The Mess" Jack, when you convalesce Outta your seat Into the street Make with the feet Reet
If you're a P-V-T, your duty Is to salute to L-I-E-U-T But if you brush the L-I-E-U-T The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
This is the G. I. Jive Man alive They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive" Jack, after you revive Chuck all your junk Back in the trunk Fall on your bunk Clunk
This is the G. I. Jive Man alive They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive" Jack, if you still survive Chuck all your junk Back in the trunk Fall on your bunk Clunk
Soon you're countin' jeeps But before you count to five Seems you're right back diggin' that G. I. Jive

13. "The Great Ships"
In the city of Glesga 'twas aye oan the kerds If ye lived near the river ye'd work in the yerds The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes Were the muckle great cranes that reached up tae the skies
Chorus: Where we built the great ships of iron and steel The Lizzies, the Mary, we built them right here We built the great ships, the pride o' the sea And noo there is nae work for me And who wid believe that we built the great ships?
Translation from Glaswegian: Glesga = Glasgow; aye oan the kerds = always on the cards; yerds = shipyards; muckle = huge (in this context); tae = to; noo = now; nae = no; wid = would "The Lizzies" and "the Mary" are affectionate nicknames for famous ocean-liners: Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth II, and the Queen Mary
(Performed by the Tannahill Weavers - no writing credits listed but lyrics probably by lead singer Roy Gullane)
UFG!

13 Song Lyrics That Mention a Time of Day or a Day of the Week (No consecutive repeats)
**PLEASE KEEP** Note: in a different game in which I specified that repeats would be okay if not consecutive, that instruction was ignored. Perhaps I was not clear. What I meant was: you're allowed to repeat an item, but you're not supposed to list it twice (or more) in a row. Alternating repeats are fine, however.
01. "Five O'Clock Whistle" The five o'clock whistle's on the blink The whistle won't blow and whadd'ya think? My pop is still in the factory 'Cause he don't know what time it happens to be The five o'clock whistle didn't blow The whistle is broke and whadda'ya know? If somebody don't find out what's wrong Oh, my pop'll be workin' all night long --Performed by (among others) Ella Fitzgerald; written by Kim Gannon, Joe Myron, Gene Irwin (no lyricist specified)
