Now wake up, boys, get out on the rock It ain't daybreak, but it's four O'clock Oh, no, no, no, Pops, you know that ain't the play What you talkin' 'bout? It's the W.P.A. The W.P.A. The W.P.A. Sleep while you work, while you rest, while you play Lean on your shovel to pass the time away T'ain't what you do; you can't die for your pay The W.P.A. The W.P.A. The W.P.A. Now don't be a fool; working hard is passe You'll stand from five to six hours a day
