Will you still love me, will you still hug me,

Cadd9 When I’m Geighty fDour,

G [G/f#] Em7

When I’ve been working all my life,

A7 And I’m still bloody DpoD7or?

  G [G/f#] Em7 Cadd9

Well I’m all for workers’ rights and that,

  As long as G I don’t haDve to wGork,

D So hats off to the Cadd9schemers, to the scroungers, to the rGats,

  To the oDnes who sleep on Cadd9mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bGats,

  To the bDeggars and the cCadd9heaters and the kings who rise at nGoon,

  To the Amscoundrels, the misfits, the pCarasites, this one’s for D 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]
