Do You Want My Job Lyrics


Ry Cooder Do You Want My Job


Cool breezes from the mountains blow
As I wake up and dress to go
On the island dawn is breaking
In the harbour tanker`s waiting
From the land of the rising sun
They bring their old plutonium
And we unload it in the bay
For two dollars forty cents a day

Chorus:
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my job

I hump the stuff I take the cash
So my kids can wear Adidas
And if you live here home you know
We ain`t got no place else to go

I remember when the air was sweet
And I brought home the fish to eat
Now we buy Spam from the grocery store
Cause you can eat the fish no more

Chorus
