Lector:
I'm just tired of these damn bills comin' up all the time ...
So I'm gonna' let loose!
I'm gonna' have me a great time.
JP:
Oh! Come on, Oh! Come on, Oh! Come on.
I called her up, I said, "Good news"
And she replied to me, "Get a job!"
Jeffrey:
Venting, Destruction, Trying to get some action
Venting, Distraction, Reaching Satisfaction
Venting, Destruction, Trying to get some action
Venting, Distraction, Reaching Satisfaction
JP:
'Ere is my job, is my job
'Ere is my job, is my job, is my job
It ain't worth it, it ain't working, it ain't working out, not right now
so I will sing this song and just let loose
Lector:
So I'm gonna' let loose!
I'm gonna' have me a great time.
JP:
Oh! Come on, Oh!
Jeffrey:
Venting, Destruction, Trying to get some action
Venting, Distraction, Reaching Satisfaction
Venting, Destruction, Trying to get some action

JP:
'Ere is my job, is my job
'Ere is my job, is my job, is my job
It ain't working, it ain't working out, not right now
so I'll just pop out the scotch and let loose
Lector:
So I'm gonna' let loose!
I'm gonna' have me a great time.
JP:
Oh! Come on, Oh! Come on, Oh! Come on.

JP:
my favorite day at the dollar store
let the devil run, let the angels fly
the lumberjacks, I found them in my pocket
i let them out, they was choppin' some wood,
they were singing they songs and they asked if they could sing for me
Jeffrey:
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
JP:
on my way to work i was on the bus
and the lumberjacks were on my lap
"Talk to me!" they said
"I don't wanna' go to work today, I don't think I got it it within me"
They said, "Okay. Just work and we'll sing!"
Jeffrey:
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
JP:
i took lunch out on the beach with a picnic basket
full of treats for my lumberjacks - they was hungry
when ev'rybody was full, I sat them down and asked them,
"Could we stay this way forever, please?"
"Nothing lasts forever, not even lumberjacks.
Take our advice and go to work, you lazy ass!"
I was ready to go - I was ready to put them in my pocket -
they said, "No. We must be on our way."
I just wanted to hide, but they said, "It's alright.
We can stay to sing!"
(please don't leave me all alone a'here one more time just me n' the guys singin' a song, just my guys and I)
Jeffrey:
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, gerden
herd'n gurd'n, herd'n gurd'n
