Lyrics

Early to bed and early to rise
Shake out the cobwebs and sleep from your eyes
Get your ass out of bed and get in line
Get out into the world and scrape up a dime
One thing I’ve learned since I’ve been alive
A long life ain’t gonna be an easy ride
You gotta get a job if you want income
Cause the beer tastes better when the works all done

Give it your all from nine to five
You gotta give it some drive if you wanna survive
That’s why it’s called work you know it ain't called fun
Cause the beer tastes better when the works all done

Cold cuts through the depths of December
Darkness devours makes it hard to remember
Change comes quick tell me are you ready
For when summer comes in hot and heavy
No way of getting out of this heat wave
When it’s forty degrees celsius in the shade
We burnt our backs in the blazing sun
Cause the beer tastes better when the works all done

Give it your all from eight to four
You gotta get out the door before they give you some more
That’s why it’s called work you know it ain't called fun
Cause the beer tastes better when the works all done

You gotta give it your all from seven to three
You gotta roll up your sleeves until it's time to leave
That’s why it’s called work you know it ain't called fun
And it’s all worth it when the sweat starts to run

You gotta give it your all from day to night
You gotta put up a fight until you get it right
That’s why it’s called work you know it ain't called fun
Cause the beer tastes better when the works all done
