G G/F# Em7
Will you still love me, will you still hug me,
Cadd9 G D
When I™m eighty four,
G G/F# Em7
When I™ve been working all my life,
A7 D D7
And I™m still bloody poor?
G G7
Dust in my lungs, a broken back,
C A7
Still can™t retire it hurts,
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well I™m all for workers™ rights and that,
G D G
As long as I don™t have to work,
D Cadd9 G
So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats,
D Cadd9 G
To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats,
D Cadd9 G
To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon,
Am C D
To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one™s for you,
[NO GUITAR]
Don™t send me on another New Deal course, I can already spell my name, you lot take the piss
Maybe I™ll never shoot a rabbit,
Perhaps I™ll never drink champagne,
But that™s alright with me,
I prefer cider anyway,
I™m happy doing nothing,
They tell me it™s all a waste,
But I ain™t never seen no 3 piece suit,
With a smile on his face,
[CHORUS]
[NO GUITAR]
I searched all the newspapers and made my CV, I swear there just ain™t nothing out there
A 9 to 5, 5 days a week,
Is bottom of my list,
I just couldn™t live with myself,
Knowing there was something that I missed,
So don™t go telling me Take it seriously,
Believe me I do,
But life™s for living, not for working,
And I got better things to do,
[CHORUS]
[end on G, presumably]
