CBeen working like a Cdog gone crazy
CBeen giving everyCthing I've got
I Cneed something short and Csweet to save me
A Clittle something that can Chit the spot
I've Cbeen living like a Cman in a prison
I've Cbeen living like a Cmonk in a cave
I Cneed a woman with a Cgood position
I Cstart searching at the Cend of the day
[Chorus]
  A#Pack it in and go to Ftown
When the sun goes CdownC  
  A#And do the Tomcat FProwl
When the sun goes CdownC  
[Verse]
I've Cbeen punching out a Cclock since fifteen
I've Cbeen living on a Cworking wage
Ya Ckeep paying me and CI'll keep lifting
I Ckeep a-lifting 'til the Cend of the day
