I been working all day for me mate on the site Running around like a blue arsed fly (chorus) 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. Aint' 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
