Why Don't You Get A Job? lyrics

My friend's got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch

He tells me every day

He says: "Man, I really gotta lose my chick

In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass, he works his hands to the bone

To give her money every payday

But she wants more dinero just to stay at home

Well, my friend, you gotta say

"I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Say "No way", say "No way ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough

To keep the bill collectors at bay

I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough

'Cause that girl's got expensive taste

"I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Say "No way", say "No way ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah

But, hey man, free rides just don't come along every day

(Let me tell ya bout the other friend now)

My friend's got a boyfriend and she hates that dick

She tells me every day

He wants more dinero just to stay at home

Well, my friend, you gotta say

"I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Say "No way", say "No way ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

"I won't give ya no money, I always pay

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Say "No way", say "No way ya, no way

Na-na why don't you get a job?"
