A           E                          B
Oh how I'd love it girl, just you and me
A         E        B
Take the day and fly
 A           E                        B
But oh this job, its got the best of me
      A     E       B
Tell you why, tell you why

B
Somebody above is in a desperate state
Some kind of urgency, the kind that won't wait
I say tomorrow, he say today
And the man in my head well he tell me no way

Keep working
I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
Will you leave me in peace while I get the work done
Can't you see I'm working

Chorus:
A   E       B
Oh, oh I'm working on it
A   E       B
Oh, oh I'm working on it

B
Well they're coming from above me
And they're coming from below
Yea they're in there right behind me
Everywhere that I go
And my buddy, he's screaming down the telephone line
He say gimme, gimme, gimme
I say I ain't got the time

Chorus:
Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it
Oh, oh I'm working on it

Yea, yea, oh tell 'em
How I'd love it girl, just you and me
Take the day and fly
But oh, this job it's got the best of me
Tell you why

Well they're coming from above me
And they're coming from below
Yea they're in there right behind me
Everywhere that I go
My buddy, he's screaming down the telephone line
He say gimme, gimme, gimme
I say I ain't got the time

Chorus:
Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it
Oh, oh I'm working on it
Oh, oh I'm working
Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it
