Working - Cock Sparrer

I been working all day for me mate on the site

Running around like a blue assed fly

I been working, working all day for me mate

Every bleeding minute i been on the go

Up and down the ladder like a fiddler’s elbow

I been working, i been working all day for me mate

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten when i sign on

But until then i’ll be working, working all day for me mate

Ain’t got no cards, don’t pay no tax

For a score in me hand i’ll be breaking me back

Call me a crook, call me bent

But i need more than food and rent

They try to follow me every day

I give 'em the slip and i’m on my way

None of the other blokes thinks it’s wrong

'coz every one of 'em's signing on

The benefit boys are out of touch

What they don’t know won’t hurt 'em much

If i’m caught i’ll go down for a month or three

But they’ll still be paying out looking after me
