        G#                 F#
I aint never had no day off since
                       C#

C#            F#                         C#
Said I was bad, I did something to her head.
      F#            A                        C#
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head.

And poppa threw me out, ooh, said,

I gotta earn my own way.

Chorus:
C#
I aint never been in trouble;
F#
I aint got the time.
C#
I dont mess around with magic, child.
F#
What I got is mine.

Whatever you say, lord, well,
that's what I'm gonna do
Whatever you say, well, that's what I'm gonna do
Cause I'm the working man, lord, and
I do the job for you

Chorus

Every friday, well, that's when I get paid
Don't take me on friday, lord,
cause that's when I get paid
Let me die on saturday night, ooh,
before sunday gets my head.
