Lyrics Work Song - Robert Calvert

Work Song

You work all night
And it’s really frightening
'Cause you’re so ambitious
It’s just a habit
That you have to grab it You’re avaricious
I know you’ll make it But I just can’t take it You’re so ambitious
Nothing’s ever going to make you stop
Not even when you’ve made it to the top
You’re a workaholic
It’s so hyperbolic
You’re so ambitious
You’re so ambitious
You’re so ambitious
For the road
You’re a finance wizard
A Stock Exchange lizard
'Cause you’re so ambitious
Always talking deals
Turning cogs and wheels
You’re so ambitious
What has happened to the girl I knew?
When you’re rich and famous you’ll just say we’re through
You want a Rolls-Royce motor
And an eighty-foot boat, oh You’re so ambitious
Your satisfaction
Is a new transaction
'Cause you’re so ambitious
Your excitation
Is negotiation
'Cause you’re so ambitious
You want a house that’s Georgian
And ahead you’re forgin'
You’re so ambitious
Nothing’s ever going to make you stop
Not even when you’ve made it to the top
You’re so ambitious
You’ve got a pinstriped suit
A polka-dot computer
You’re so ambitious
Your calculator
It says «see you later»
Its voice sounds vicious
I know you’ll make it But I just can’t take it You’re so ambitious
Nothing’s ever going to make you stop
Not even when you’ve made it to the top
