Working on it lyrics

Oh how I'd love it girl, just you and me

Take the day and fly

But oh this job, it's got the best of me

Tell you why, tell you why

Somebody above is in a desperate state

Some kind of urgency, the kind that won't wait

I say tomorrow, he say today

And the man in my head well he tell me no way

Keep working

I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs

Will you leave me in peace while I get the job done

Can't you see I'm working

Oh, oh I'm working on it

Oh, oh I'm working on it

Well they're coming from above me

And they're coming from below

Yea they're in there right behind me

Everywhere that I go

And my buddy, he's screaming down the telephone line

He say gimme, gimme, gimme

I say I ain't got the time

Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it

Oh, oh I'm working on it

Yea, yea, oh tell 'em

How I'd love it girl, just you and me

Take the day and fly

But oh, this job it's got the best of me

Tell you why

Well they're coming from above me

And they're coming from below

Yea they're in there right behind me

Everywhere that I go

My buddy, he's screaming down the telephone line

He say gimme, gimme, gimme

I say I ain't got the time

Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it

Oh, oh I'm working on it

Oh, oh I'm working

Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it
