| As long as you give me my pay |
| You’ll get your moneys worth |
| I’ll be there 8 hours a day |
| I won’t hide and I won’t shirk |
| I got a way with a hammer and a nail |
| A dovetail and a tongue and groove |
| Put up a wall in half a day |
| Guarantee it’ll never move |
| Shouda li li li dum dum a day |
| Honest work |
| I’m gonna build a strong foundation |
| Marble walls like Grand Central Station |
| Not gonna feel any more frustration |
| Do enough work for an entire nation |
| Gonna get a chisel and an awl and a saw |
| Carve my name out on your door |
| A block and tackle and a spirit level |
| Take your heart of glass and put on a bevel |
| Got to build a strong foundation |
| Strong enough to hold up a nation |
| Strong enough to put your faith in |
| The roof won’t leak and the floor won’t cave in |
| Gonna get a lathe and a capstan press |
| Take an old claw hammer to this mess |
| Gonna knock down the walls of denial |
| Wear 'em down with a pick and a file |
