I been working all day for me mate on the site   Running around like a blue arsed fly   I been working   And I been working all day for me mate      Every bleeding minute I been on the go   Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow   I been working   I been working all day for me mate      [Chorus]   Wait for tomorrow at half past ten   When I sign on, but until then   I'll be working   I'll be working all day for me mate      Aint' got no cards, don't pay no tax   For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back   I been working   And I been working all day for me mate   Call me a crook, call me bent   But I need more than food and rent   I been working   And I been working all day for me mate      [Chorus]      They try to follow me every day   I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way   None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong   'Coz every one of 'em's signing on      [Chorus]      They try to follow me every day   I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way   None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong   'Coz every one of 'em's signing on      [Chorus]      The benefit boys are out of touch   What they don't know won't hurt 'em much   I been working   And I been working all day for me mate      If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three   But they'll still Be paying out looking after me   I been working   And I been working all day for me mate      [Chorus]
