I Can't Wait To Get Off Work (And See My Baby On Montgomery Avenue)

Lyrics

Well I don't mind working
 'Cause I used to be jerkin off
 Most of my time in the bars
 I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk
 And a soda fountain jock jerk
 And a manic mechanic on cars
 It's nice work if you can get it
 Now who the hell said it
 I got money to spend on my gal
 But the work never stops
 And I'll be busting my chops
 Working for Joe and Sal
 And I can't wait to get off work
 And see my baby
 She said she'd leave the porch lite on for me
 I'm disheveled I'm disdainful
 And I'm distracted and it's painful
 But this job sweeping up here is
 Is gainfully employing me tonight
 Tom do this and Tom do that
 Tom, don't do that
 Count the cash, clean the oven
 Dump the trash oh your loving
 Is a rare and a copasetic gift
 And I'm a moonlight watch manic
 It's hard to be romantic
 Sweeping up over by the
 Cigarette machine
 Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine
 I can't wait to get off work and see my baby
 Well she'll be waiting up with a magazine for me
 Clean the bathrooms, clean them good
 Oh your loving I wish you would
 Come down here and sweep Ame off my feet
 This broom'll have to be my baby
 If I hurry, I just might
 Get off before the dawns early light
