Johnny Paycheck – Take This Job And Shove It – 1978

Lyrics

 

Johnny paycheck while you’re out hereI’d like to introduce somethingTake This job and Shove ItWould you like to hear that?I’ll do the best I can here
Take this job and shove itI ain’t working here no moreMy woman just left and took all the reasonsI been working forDon’t you try and stop me‘Cause I’m walking out the doorTake this job and shove itI ain’t working here no more
Well, I been working in this factoryFor damn near 15 yearsI’ve seen a lot of good folks dieAnd they had a lot of damn tearsI seen a lot of good folks dieThat had a lot of bills to payI’d give the shirt right off of my backIf I had the guts to say
Take this job and shove itI ain’t working here no moreMy woman just left and took all the reasonsI been working forDon’t you try and stop meWhen I’m walking out the doorYou can take this job and shove itI ain’t working here no more
That foreman, he’s a regular dogThe line boss, he’s a foolHe’s got a flattop haircut, honey, hey
The boy thinks he’s coolOne of these days I’m gonna blow my topAnd that sucker, he’s gonna payAnd I can’t waitTill I get the nerve to walk up to him and say
Take this job and stick itI ain’t working here no moreMy woman just left and took all the reasonsI been working forDon’t you try and stop me‘Cause I’m walking out the doorYou can take this job and shove itI ain’t working here no more
One more time now, everybody
You can take this job and shove itI ain’t working here no more (yeah)
Johnny paycheckNow you’re talking ’bout an outlaw, I ain’t got a chance
