I Can’t Wait to Get Off Work (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’ve 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 mo-     ney to spend on my gal

but the work never stops and I’ll be busting my chops

wor   king for Joe and    Sal

And I can’t wait to get off work and see my baby

she said she’d leave the porch light on for me

I’m disheveled, I’m disdainful and I’m distracted and it’s painful

but this job sweeping up here is gainfully employ   ing    me   to-    night

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 ’em good

Oh my lovin’, I wish you would – Come down here and sweep me off my feet

This broom will have to be   my    baby

If I hurry, I just might get off before the da-    wns    ear  ly    light
