Big Boots - 5 Chinese Brothers

The alarm clock crowed an hour ago 
I'm already running behind 
If this one-eyed Ford doesn't start 
I'm never going to make it on time 
Show up late just once more 
The boss said he'd dock my pay 
I head in through the side door 
Grab my tools and I'm on my way 
I'm going to work 
I put my big boots on 
I'm going to work 
I will be working all day long 
Passing the time 'til I get home 
When my baby talks real soft 
I take my big boots off 
Welcome to my steady job 
It's not what I would call a career 
Pick it up and put it there 
Pick it up and put it over here 
They hold my raise up to keep costs down 
And then they raise the price 
The squeaky wheel is spinning around 
I'm running like one of those mice 
CHORUS 
Pay day comes once a week 
A day that I never miss 
Run to the bank, cash my check 
Got my money clutched in my fist 
One for you, one for me 
One for my Uncle Sam 
One for a ticket for the lottery 
It's all part of my plan 
CHORUS
