G
Walked all day till my feet were tired, 
C
I was low, I just couldn't get hired,
G
Saw a sign in a grocery store,
C
"Help is slight and we need some more" 

        G
I got a job   Sha na na na, sha na na na  

I got a job Sha na na na, sha na na na  
        C
I got a job Sha na na na, sha na na na 
        G
I got a job Sha na na na, sha na na na  
           D                       C                     G
Oh well, I finally finally finally finally finally got a job 
G
Sha na na na, sha na na na  

G
You've been houndin' me to get a job 
G
Well I finally did and the boss is a slob 
     C
He's on my back nearly all day long 
   G
It seems like everything I do is wrong 
        D                       C                     G
Well, I finally finally finally finally finally got a job 
G
Sha na na na, sha na na na 

G            
He says to me 
G
"Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement 
G
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement 
C7
 Get the mop and clean the dirty floor 
G
and when you're finished wipe the windows and the doors" 
  D                       C                     G
I finally finally finally finally finally got a job 
G
Sha na na na, sha na na na  

      C
Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane 
G
One of these days I'm gonna have a fit 
    C
and though the boss keeps a-runnin' through my brain 
     D                                                     G
I'll never never never never never never quit my brand new job 
G
Workin' all day and workin' all night and workin' all day and night
