| When a farmer’s farmin', let him raise his crop |
| When a woodsman’s choppin', let him have his chop |
| When a porter’s scrubbin', let him have his mop |
| Every man to his own profession |
| Let a doctor tend to ease an achin' back |
| Woo yeah |
| Let a railroad watchman switch his railroad track |
| Let the laundry helper fill his laundry sack |
| Every man to his own profession |
| When a carpenter’s sawin' on a piece of wood |
| Don’t you be braggin' that you also could |
| He might hand you a saw and give a wise old call |
| You might start sawin' and saw your fingers off |
| When a schoolmarm’s teachin', let her teach her school |
| When it comes to women, don’t you be no fool |
| When it’s life in general, here’s a golden rule |
| Every man to his own profession |
| When a carpenter’s sawin' on a piece of wood |
| Don’t you be braggin' that you also could |
| He might hand you his saw and give a wise old call *ahem* |
| You might start sawin' and saw your fingers off |
| When a schoolmarm’s teachin', let her teach her school |
| When it comes to women, don’t you be no fool |
| When it’s life in general, here’s a golden rule |
| Every man to his own profession |
| So, consult the next Burt |
| If you don’t wanna be hurt |
| Every man to his own profession |
