Gold Watch Blues(Peter Holbrook 賀布祿)
Composer╱Lyricist:Mike Softley Artist:Peter Holbrook 賀布祿
I Went Up For My Interview On The 4th Day Of July. The Personnel Man, He Questioned Me Until I Nearly Cried. Made Me Fill In Forms Until I Shook With Fear About The Color Of My Toilet Roll And If My Cousin's Queer.
Here's Your Gold Watch And The Shackles For Your Chains. And Your Piece Of Paper, To Say You Left Here Sane And If You've A Son Who Wants A Good Career. Just Get Him To Sign On The Dotted Line And Work For 50 Years.
He Asked Me How Many Jobs I'd Had Before. He Nearly Had A Heart Attack When I Answered Four. Four Jobs Of 20 Years Or More, This Can Never Be. We Only Take On Men, Who Work On Until He Die.
Here's Your Gold Watch And Shackles For Your Chains And Your Piece Of Paper, To Say You Left Here Sane And If You've A Son Who Wants A Good Career. Just Get Him To Sign On The Dotted Line Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And Work For 50 Years.
He Took Me Outside To Where The Gravestones Stand In Line. Said This Is Where We Bury Them In Quick Sand And In Lime. And If You Come To Work For Us, This You Must Agree. That If You're Going To Die, Please Do It During Tea Break.
Here's Your Gold Watch And Shackles For Your Chains And Your Piece Of Paper, To Say You Left Here Sane And If You've A Son Who Wants A Good Career. Just Get Him To Sign On The Dotted Line And Work For 50 Years.
This Story That You've Heard, You May Think Rather Queer. But It Is The Truth You'll Be Surprised To Hear. I Did Not Want The Job Up On The Board. I Just Wanted To Take A Broom And Sweep The Bloody Floor.
Here's Your Gold Watch And Shackles For Your Chains And Your Piece Of Paper, To Say You Left Here Sane And If You've A Son Who Wants A Good Career. Just Get Him To Sign On The Dotted Line And Work For 50 Years.
