Take This Job and Shove It Too - 1977 Version
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends' women
Standing in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dying
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right off of my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
The foreman is a regular S-O-B
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand-new flat top haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top
And there's gonna be hell to pay
I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand In my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends' women
Standing in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dying
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right off of my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
The foreman is a regular S-O-B
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand-new flat top haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days, I'm gonna blow my top
And there's gonna be hell to pay
I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand In my way
When I walk out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
