Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you
We've got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do
Forget about your women and that water can
Today we're working for the man
Well pick up your feet we've got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Oh don't relax I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind
Cause you're working for the man you're working for the man
You gotta make him a hand you're working for the man
So I'm picking 'em up and I'm laying 'em down
I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pull to the left I heave to the right
I oughta kill him but it wouldn't be right
Cause I'm working for the man a working for the man
I gotta make him a hand a working for the man
Well the boss man's daughter sneaks me water
Everytime her daddy's down the line
She says meet me tonight love a me right
And everything is gonna be fine
So I slave all day without much pay
Cause I'm just abidin' my time
Cause the company and the daughter you see
They're both gonna be all mine
Yeah I'm gonna be the man I'm gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand if I'm gonna be the man
A working for the man working for the man
I gotta make him a hand a working for the man
