I be working all day for me mate on site
Running around like a blue assed fly

Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten

When I sign on, but until then

Ain't got no cards, don't pay no tax
For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back

Call me a crook, call me bent
But I need more than food and rent
