Im Looking For A Job

D D I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay A A four day week and a two hour day A It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way D But I never did like being idle! D I don’t want glory and I don’t want fame A I left the school with a modest aim A I went to the Labour Exchange for work N.C. Here is what I sang to the wee broo clerk D I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay A A four day week and a two hour day A It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way D But I never did like being idle! D Now that, says he, is a rare wee song A To come from a lad so big and strong A Through the door on the left and take this card N.C. You can sing to the gaffer down in Harland’s yard D I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay A A four day week and a two hour day A It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way D But I never did like being idle! D I sang it to the gaffer but he thought me daft A I’ve never even heard such a horse’s laugh A He gathered around him all his men N.C. And as one big choir, they sang then D I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay A A four day week and a two hour day A It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way D But I never did like being idle! D Their voices rang o’er the riverside A And it became the song of the Clyde A Its words were heard the whole world round N.C. And it was known as the Clydeside Sound D I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay A A four day week and a two hour day A It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way D But I never did like being idle!
