I been working all day for me mate on the site
  Running around like a blue arsed fly
  I been working
  And I been working all day for me mate
    Every bleeding minute I been on the go
  Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow
  I been working
  I been working all day for me mate
    [Chorus]
  Wait for tomorrow at half past ten
  When I sign on, but until then
  I'll be working
  I'll be working all day for me mate
    Aint' got no cards, don't pay no tax
  For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back
  I been working
  And I been working all day for me mate
  Call me a crook, call me bent
  But I need more than food and rent
  I been working
  And I been working all day for me mate
    [Chorus]
    They try to follow me every day
  I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way
  None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong
  'Coz every one of 'em's signing on
    [Chorus]
    They try to follow me every day
  I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way
  None of the other blokes thinks it's wrong
  'Coz every one of 'em's signing on
    [Chorus]
    The benefit boys are out of touch
  What they don't know won't hurt 'em much
  I been working
  And I been working all day for me mate
    If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three
  But they'll still Be paying out looking after me
  I been working
  And I been working all day for me mate
    [Chorus]
