G G/F# Em7
Will you still love me, will you still hug me,
Cadd9 G D
When I�m eighty four,
G G/F# Em7
When I�ve been working all my life,
A7 D D7
And I�m still bloody poor?
G G7
Dust in my lungs, a broken back,
C A7
Still can�t retire it hurts,
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well I�m all for workers� rights and that,
G D G
As long as I don�t have to work,
D Cadd9 G
So hats off to the schemers, to the scroungers, to the rats,
D Cadd9 G
To the ones who sleep on mattresses on the floor, clutching baseball bats,
D Cadd9 G
To the beggars and the cheaters and the kings who rise at noon,
Am C D
To the scoundrels, the misfits, the parasites, this one�s for you,
[NO GUITAR]
�Don�t send me on another New Deal course, I can already spell my name, you lot take the piss�
Maybe I�ll never shoot a rabbit,
Perhaps I�ll never drink champagne,
But that�s alright with me,
I prefer cider anyway,
I�m happy doing nothing,
They tell me it�s all a waste,
But I ain�t never seen no 3 piece suit,
With a smile on his face,
[CHORUS]
[NO GUITAR]
�I searched all the newspapers and made my CV, I swear there just ain�t nothing out there�
A 9 to 5, 5 days a week,
Is bottom of my list,
I just couldn�t live with myself,
Knowing there was something that I missed,
So don�t go telling me �Take it seriously�,
Believe me I do,
But life�s for living, not for working,
And I got better things to do,
[CHORUS]
[end on G, presumably]
