Testo I Can't Wait To Get Off Work - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone I Can't Wait To Get Off Work (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Storytellers
I don't mind working,
'Cause I used to be jerking off most of my time in bars,
I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda-fountain jock-jerk
And a manic mechanic on cars.
It's nice work if you can get it, now who the hell said it?
I got money to spend on my gal
But the work never stops
And I'll be busting my chops
Working for Joe and Sal
And I can't wait to get off work and see my baby
She said she'd leave the porch light on for me
I'm disheveled and I'm disdainful and I'm distracted and it's painful
But this job sweeping up here is gainfully
Employing me tonight
Well Tom, do this and Tom, do that, and Tom, don't do that,
Count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash,
Oh your loving is a rare and a copacetic gift
And I'm a moonlight watch manic
It's hard to be romantic
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine
I can't wait to get off work and see my baby
She'll be waiting up with a magazine for me
Clean the bathrooms and clean 'em good
Oh your loving I wish you would
Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet
This broom'll have to be my baby
If I hurry, I just might get off before the dawn's early light
