lyrics

i’ve got a job! (words by gaines greer & salim nourallah; music by salim nourallah)



when i was a boy my Grandma said

i think you’d make a good shoe salesman…”

i was thinking an Astronaut

so i’m pretty sure i undershot

now i’ve got a desk, a cubicle

a parking pass but the lot’s always full

instant oatmeal at 6am

sitting on the freeway in traffic again



don’t have a girl

don’t have much fun

i can’t remember my last vacation

i don’t work out

i don’t sleep in

can’t even stay awake past ten

i’ve got a job!

i’ve got a job!



so i’ve bought some pants with pleats in front

i like to wear ‘em with my blue button ups

my boss tells me that my work’s alright

but we’re not promoting anyone at this time

i try to talk to the new receptionist

work up the nerve to ask her to breakfast

but someone sent her flowers yesterday

i’m pretty sure she doesn’t like me anyway



i don’t eat right

why should i try?

frozen dinners are just fine

don’t see my friends

there’s never time

i’m always beat on Friday night




i’ve got a job!
