W.P.A |
Louis Armstrong: |
Now wake up boys, get out on the rock |
It ain’t daybreak, but it’s 4 O’clock |
Harry (?) Mills: |
Oh, no, no, no, Pops, you know that ain’t the play |
Louis Armstrong: |
What you talkin' 'bout, it’s the W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
Sleep while you work, while you rest, while you play |
Lean on your shovel to pass the time away |
T’ain’t what you do, you can die for your pay |
The W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
Now don’t be a fool working hard is passé |
You’ll stand from five to six hours a day |
Sit down and choke while you smoke, it’s OK |
The W.P.A |
I’m so tired, I don’t know what to do |
Can’t get fired, so I’ll take my rest until my work |
Is through |
The W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
Don’t mind the boss if he’s cross when you’re gay |
He’ll get a pink slip next month anyway |
Three little letters than make life OK |
The W.P.A |
Skeets Tolbert & His Gentlemen Of Swing’s version (Decca, 1941) doesn’t have |
the spoken intro and has this as a last stanza: |
The W.P.A |
The W.P.A |
Don’t mind the boss if he’s cross when you’re gay |
You’ll get a pink slip next week anyway |
Nobody peeks if you loaf every day |
The W.P.A |
The second time through, Tolbert repeats the first stanza in place of the last |
one |
