lirik lagu i’m not going to work today – joe tex
[intro]
say, man
didn’t i call you last night
and tell you not to come by my house this morning?
i can’t make it to work this morning
and i’ll tell you why
[verse 1]
i was up all night with my baby
and it was crying like crazy
i thought that maybe i’d stop her
if i would change her little diaper
but it seemed it wanted it’s mother
who was playing sleep undercover
so i walked the baby ’til it fell asleep
and now i got achin’ feet, sing!
[chorus]
i’m not going to work (i’m not going to work today)
would you tell him for me one more time?
(i’m not going to work today)
you don’t seem to understand what it is
(maybe i don’t get no pay)
you better bring me my money
(but i’m not going to work today)
listen to me tell you something
[verse 2]
i have had troubles on top of troubles
and my feet are botherin’ me so bad
and everybody thinks i don’t like my children, listen
i’ve got a big son and a daughter
who takes no pity on their father
i came home from work at four
and they wanted me to do the limbo
now i’m a good sort of pappy
for trying to make his children happy
i went out and did the limbo
and now my back is sore
sing, girls!
[chorus]
(i’m not going to work today)
tell my story, honey
(i’m not going to work today)
but you better bring me my money
(maybe i don’t get no pay) tell him, now
send me my check on by here today, forward
(but i’m not going to work today)
yeah!
[verse 3]
i need my money, the baby needs milk, my wife needs shoes
and i got to have a little something myself
bring me my money here, listen
now please don’t you get me wrong here, folks
i love my children, and that’s no joke
but this here modern generation
is gonna be my whole ruination
so doing the limbo and walkin’ steeples
i’m gonna leave it to the young people
stick the way i know, beginner
and that’s being the family breadwinner, sing!
[chorus]
(i’m not going to work today) oh yeah
(i’m not going to work today)
ooh, my back is k!llin’ me inside
(maybe i don’t get no pay)
my feet, bring me my slippers, honey
(but i’m not going to work today)
[refrain]
oh, i tell you i just can’t make it
(i’m not going to work today)
but you better tell that man to send me my check on here
(i’m not going to work today) my company mail
(maybe i don’t get no pay) the dog needs a bone
(but i’m not going to work today) wife needs shoes
(i’m not going to work today) and the baby needs milk
[outro]
(i’m not going to work today)
and i got to put a little somthing in my pocket, alright
(maybe i don’t get no pay) send me my money
(i’m not going to work today)
