== Lyrics == | |||
<poem> | |||
There are girls that some men will slave for | |||
To provide the things that they pay for | |||
Why do you think work is a four-letter word | |||
Loving you is driving me crazy | |||
People say that you were born lazy | |||
'Cause you think that work is a four-letter word | |||
Don't waste your life | |||
There is so much I know you can do | |||
Let me see you wide awake | |||
And take on the world that is waiting for you | |||
If you cry I'll be right behind you | |||
And my love will help to remind you | |||
To forget that work is a four letter word | |||
I don't want a house that's a show place | |||
I just feel that we're getting no place | |||
While you say that work is a four-letter word | |||
Don't waste your life | |||
There is so much I know you can do | |||
Let me see you wide awake | |||
And take on the world that is waiting for you | |||
If you cry I'll be right behind you | |||
And my love will help to remind you | |||
To forget that work is a four letter word | |||
I don't want a house that's a show place | |||
I just feel that we're getting no place | |||
While you say that work is a four-letter word | |||
Four-letter word! | |||
