Graham Parker - Honest Work слова песни
As long as you give me my pay You`ll get your moneys worth
I`ll be there 8 hours a day I won`t hide and I won`t shirk
I got a way with a hammer and a nail A dovetail and a tongue and groove
Put up a wall in half a day Guarantee it`ll never move
CHORUS
Shouda li li li dum dum a day Honest work
I`m gonna build a strong foundation Marble walls like Grand Central Station
Not gonna feel any more frustration Do enough work for an entire nation
Gonna get a chisel and an awl and a saw Carve my name out on your door
A block and tackle and a spirit level Take your heart of glass
and put on a bevel
CHORUS repeat
Got to build a strong foundation Strong enough to hold up a nation
Strong enough to put your faith in The roof won`t leak and the
floor won`t cave in
Gonna get a lathe and a capstan press Take an old claw hammer to this mess
Gonna knock down the walls of denial Wear `em down with a pick and a file
CHORUS repeat
