(and see my baby on montgomery avenue) 
 
Well i don't mind working 
Cause i used to be jerkin off 
Most of my time in the bars 
I been a cabbie and a stock clerk 
And a soda fountain jock jerk 
And a manic mechanic on cars 
It's nice work if you can get it 
Now who the hell said it 
I got money to spend on my gal 
But the work never stops 
And i'll be busting my chops 
Working for joe and sal. 
 
And i can't wait to get off work 
And see my baby 
She said she'd leave the porch lite 
On for me 
I'm disheveled i'm disdainful 
And i'm distracted and it's painful 
But this job sweeping up here is 
Is gainfully employing me tonight 
 
Tom do this tom do that 
Tom, don't do that 
Count the cash, clean the oven 
Dump the trash oh your lovin 
Is a rare and a copasetic gift 
And i'm a moonlight watchmanic 
It's hard to be romantic 
(sweeping up over by the 
Cigarette machine 
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...) 
 
I can't wait to get off work 
And see my baby 
She'll be waiting up with a magazine for me 
Clean the bathrooms, clean um good 
Oh your lovin i wish you would 
Come down here and sweepameoffmyfeet 
This broom'll have to be my baby 
If i hurry, i just might 
Get off before the dawns early light.
