[Verse 1]

I been working all day for me mate on the site

Running around like a blue arsed fly

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Verse 2]

Every bleeding minute I been on the go

Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Post-Chorus]

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten when I sign on

But until then

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Verse 3]

Ain't' got no cards, don't pay no tax

For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back

[Chorus]

I been working, I been working all day for me mate

[Verse 4]

Call me a crook, call me bent

But I need more than food and rent

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Post-Chorus]

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten when I sign on

But until then

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Bridge]

They try to follow me every day

I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way

None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong

'coz every one of 'em's signing on

[Pre-Chorus]

I wait for tomorrow at half past ten when I sign on

But until then

[Chorus]

I been working, I've been working all day for me mate

[Bridge]

They try to follow me every day

I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way

None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong

'coz every one of 'em's signing on

[Verse 5]

The benefit boys are out of touch

What they don't know won't hurt 'em much

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate

[Verse 6]

If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three

But they'll still be paying out looking after me

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mates

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah I wait for tomorrow at half past ten when I sign on

But until then

[Chorus]

I been working, yeah I been working all day for me mate
