Walked all day till my feet were tired 
I was low, I just couldn't get hired 
So I sat in a grocery store 
Help is light and I need some more

(I got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 
(I got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 
(I got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 
(I got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 
Well, I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 

You've been houndin' me to get a job 
Well I finally did and my boss is a slob 
He's on my back really all day long 
It seems like everything I do is wrong 
Well, I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 

(He says to me) 
Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement 
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement 
Get the mop and clean the dirty floors 
And when you're finished wipe the windows and the doors
I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 

Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane 
One of these days I'm gonna have a fit 
and though the boss keeps a-runnin' through my brain 
I'll never (never) (never) (never) (never never quit my brand new job) 
Workin' all day and workin' all night and workin' all day 

(He says to me) 
Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement 
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement 
Get the mop and clean the dirty floors 
And when you're finished wipe the windows and the doors
I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job) 
Sha na na na, sha na na na na 

Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane 
One of these days I'm gonna have a fit 
And though the boss keeps a-runnin' through my brain 
I'll never (never) (never) (never) (never never quit my brand new job) 
Workin' all day and workin' all night and workin' all day

Workin' all night and workin' all day
