Lorne Gilley lyrics : "Great Big "Well !!!""
Breaking my back just to be nickeled and dimed
Til the day that I decided I was worth a whole lot more
And punched that clock and headed for the door
(chorus)
When the boss asked me what for
I said I'm sick and tired of being poor
And this job really stinks
And it's driving me to drink
My kids are convinced your slime
with all your mandatory overtime
My wife has reached her brink
And thinks you're a great big "Well!!!"
(2nd verse)
His jaw dropped as I turned and I walked away
I was quite sure there was nothing else left to say
But the telephone rang about an hour after I got home
And the voice on the other end, in a real low tone
(2nd chorus)
Asked me again what for
I said I'm sick and tired of being poor
And this job really stinks
And it's driving me to drink
My kids are convinced you're slime
with all your mandatory overtime
And my wife has reached her brink
And thinks you're a great big.."Well!!!"
(Instrumental)
(3rd chorus)
So don't ask me again what for
It's cause I'm sick and tired of being poor
But that's all gonna change
You're gonna be hearing my name
My kids are gonna git their time
And my wife a big rock that shines
Cause you made me stop and think
Now I'm a self serving great big... "Well!!!"
Yea you really made me stop and think
Now I'm a self serving great big..."Well!!!"
