Oi! band started in 1976. The group formed in London's East End, originally as a pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three years prior. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Gary Lammin (Burgess' cousin), and soon began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a regular basis.

Verse 1: D I been working all day for me mate on the site D Running around like a blue arsed fly GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate D Every bleeding minute I been on the go D Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate
Chorus: A Wait for tomorrow at half past ten G When I sign on, but until then DAD I'll be working, I'll be working all day for me mate
Verse 2: D Aint' got no cards, don't pay no tax D For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate D Call me a crook, call me bent, D But I need more than food and rent GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate
Chorus x1
Bridge: CD They try to follow me every day CD I give 'em the slip and I'm on my way CD None of the other blokes think it's wrong A 'Coz every one of 'em's signing on
Verse 3: D The benefit boys are out of touch D What they don't know won't hurt 'em much GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate D If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three D But they'll still be paying out, looking after me GD I been working, I been working all day for me mate
Chorus x1
