Take This Job And Shove it (by Johnny Paycheck)
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
I've been working in this factory
For nigh on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And I've seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Well that foreman he's a riggity dog
The line boss he's a fool
Got a brand new flattop hair cut
Lord he thinks he's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that sucker he's gonna pay
Lord I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
And took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
As I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Take this job and shove it
From the Diary of Mitt Romney
Vulture Capital- Oh God, Perry probably said that by accident when he meant to say venture capital. Can these folks even write a complete sentence down South. But I’m gonna need their votes so I gotta change that, I gotta change, I gotta have the strength to change. That’s right, make change is strength. That’s what Michael Corleone said I have the strength to change. And this Bain stuff, it’s becoming the bane of my existence. See, I’m funny, I can make a pun, I’m folksy. These folks that are so obsessed about jobs. If you lose a job at a factory you get a job with a Target or Walmart. Hey, a job’s a job. Hey, I don’t even know if I’m rich. And now I gotta release my tax returns? Maybe I should – it will just show how I was inhibited from creating jobs. But wait, I was supposed to have created them. Gotta change, have the strength to change. No matter what I had to do with jobs that was my job. How about the job I created for myself and all the managers, and all the tailors, and all the secretaries, and all the people who took care of my lawn. I wouldn’t have illegals, I was running for office for Pete’s sake. That said, Mitt drifts off into sleep. He’s turned the station to a country song to work on his “just plain folk,” self mumbling I’m gonna need them southern evangelical votes. (And as he thinks of all the great paychecks he’s gotten in the background comes the voice again of Johnny Paycheck.) I love the country folk, they really speak to me and as he drifts off to sleep, they do again.
Mitt Took Your Job And Shoved It
Mitt took your job and shoved it
You ain’t workin’ here no more
So go to work for Target
And be the workin’ poor
Don’t even think you can stay
‘Cause we’re closin’ up the doors.
Well some been in this factory
For many, many years
But it’s Bain time, we’re in charge,
The sum of all your fears
Well I’ve seen them so called good folks die, with their health bills in the way
But we’ll take the shirt right off your back
‘Cause pink slips make my pay
Mitt took your job and shoved it
You ain’t workin’ here no more
So go to work for Target
And be the workin’ poor
Don’t even think you can stay
‘Cause we’re closin’ up the doors.
The Mitt man says you’re all just cogs
He’s the hard line boss and you’re the fools
Got a brand new helmet haircut with all that MBA cool
So Bain ways are to blow things up
Fleecing all you suckers
It’s how we make our pay
I can’t wait to see your faces
It’s the order of the day.
Mitt took your job and shoved it
You ain’t workin’ here no more
So go to work for Target
And be the workin’ poor
Don’t even think you can stay
‘Cause we’re closin’ up the doors.
