| I was walking down the street
|
| Who do you think I chance to meet
|
| Fast car Johnny from Sammy’s bar
|
| Used to think that he’d go far
|
| He would work down in the factory
|
| Making so much money he wouldn’t talk to me But he didn’t look so good some how
|
| I said hey there John what you doing now
|
| He said
|
| I’m working for the Government, working for the Government
|
| It don’t even pay the rent but I’m working for the Government
|
| It’s real steady and its secure all I need is a signature
|
| I don’t pay no body ten per cent I’m working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| I went for a drink down town
|
| Wondering what was going down
|
| Who was there having a few
|
| But a whole lot of people that I once knew
|
| They were on the double, that ain’t no shame
|
| Just beating the system that’s the name of the game
|
| And this alcohol is heaven sent
|
| When you working for the Government
|
| And I’m going
|
| Working for the Government working for the Government
|
| It don’t even pay the rent but I’m working for the Government
|
| It’s real steady and its secure all I need is a signature
|
| I don’t pay nobody 10 per cent I’m working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| Working for the Government
|
| I’m working for the Government
|
| Are you working for the Government
|
| Everybody working for the Government
|
| God bless the Government. |
