Oh how I'd love it girl, just you and me
   Take the day and fly
   But oh this job, it's got the best of me
   Tell you why, tell you why
  
   Somebody above is in a desperate state
   Some kind of urgency, the kind that won't wait
   I say tomorrow, he say today
   And the man in my head well he tell me no way
   Keep working
   I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
   Will you leave me in peace while I get the work done
   Can't you see I'm working
   Oh, oh I'm working on it
   Oh, oh I'm working on it
  
   Well they're coming from above me
   And they're coming from below
   Yea they're in there right behind me
   Everywhere that I go
   And my buddy, he's screaming down the telephone line
   He say gimme, gimme, gimme
   I say I ain't got the time
   Oh, oh can't you see I'm working on it
   Oh, oh I'm working on it
   Yea, yea, oh tell 'em
