Lyrics of Get a Job - Neil Young, Crazy Horse

Get a Job (original)

Yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip, bmm
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
Yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum-mum, get a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na.
Every morning about this time (sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na)
She gets me out of bed, a-crying get a job (sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na)
After breakfast everyday she throws the want ads right my way
And never fails to say: 'Get a job'.
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
Yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum-mum, get a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na.
Yeah, when I get the paper I read it through and through
And my girl never fail to see if there is any work for me.
When I got to go back to the house, hear that woman’s mouth
Preachin' and a cryin', tell me that I’m lyin' about a job
That I never could find.
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na
Yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum-mum, get a job
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na.
Yeah, when I get the paper I read it through and through
And my girl never fail to see if there is any work for me.
When I got to go back to the house, hear that woman’s mouth

That I never could find.
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do

Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na, ahh-do
