My friend's got a girlfriend,
man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says, "Man, I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kinda way."

     F
She sits on her ass
              A#
He works his hands to the bone
    F                       C
To give her money every payday
         F                          A#
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
           F        C       F
Well my friend, you gotta say

Chorus:
F                                A#
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, No Way-ay-ay-ay
 F                C         F
Na na, why don't you get a job?
F                          A#
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
 F                C         F
Na na, why don't you get a job?

I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
’Cause that girl's got expensive taste

Chorus:
"I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"
Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"

A#
Well I guess it ain't easy
                 F
Doing nothing at all
A#
But hey man free rides just don't
       G          C
Come along every day
(Let me tell you about my other friend now)

My friend's got a boyfriend,
man she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend, you gotta say

Chorus:
"I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"
Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"

"I won't give you no money, I always pay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"
Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?"

Hey! That's something everyone can enjoy
