Jimmy Buffett - It`s My Job слова песни
By: Mac McAnally 1970 For Mac who reminds me of me seven years ago In the middle of late last night I was sittin` on a curb I didn`t know what about, but I was feelin` quite disturbed A street sweeper came whistlin` by, he was bouncin` every step It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept Chorus: He said, "It`s my job to be cleaning up this mess And that`s enough reason to go for me It`s my job to be better than the rest And that makes a day for me." I got an uncle who owns a bank, he`s a self-made millionaire He never had anyone to love, never had no one to care He always seemed kinda sad to me and I asked him why that was And he told me it`s because in my contract there`s this clause Chorus: That says, "It`s my job to be worried half to death And that`s the thing people respect in me It`s my job but without it I`d be less Than what I expect from me." Now I`ve been lazy most all my life writin` songs and sleepin` late And any manual labor I`ve done was purely by mistake If street sweepers can smile then I`ve got no right to feel upset But sometimes I still forget `Til the lights go on and the stage is set And the song hits home and you feel that sweat Chorus: It`s my job to be different than the rest And that`s enough reason to go for me It`s my job to be better than the rest And that`s a rough break for me Chorus: It`s my job to be cleaning up this mess And that`s enough reason to go for me It`s my job to be better than the rest And that makes the day for me - Notes: Background Vocals: Mac McAnally, J.D.
