Lyrics
You got soul on the dole
You’re gonna have a good time down on the line
You got soul on the dole
You’re gonna have a good time down on the line
I said I get, get, get on down
I said I get, get, get on down
I said I get, get, get on down
I said I get, get, get on down
Hey everybody, take a look at me
I’ve got street credibility
I may not have a job, but I have a good time
With the boys that I meet down on the line
I said D.H.S.S.
Man, the rhythm that they’re givin’ is the very best
I said B one, B two
Make a claim, sign your name
Is all you have to do
Well, folks can be a drag if work ain’t your bag
And when you let them know
You’re more dead and alive in a nine to five
Then they say you’ve got to go
And get yourself a job
Or get out of this house
Get yourself a job
Are you a man or a mouse
A finger in each ear
You pretend not to hear
Gotta get some space
Get outta this place
Wham! Bam!
I am a man
Job or no job
You can’t tell me that I’m not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop
Don’t stay there and rot
In the streets, in the cars
On the underground
If you listen real hard, you can hear the sound
Of a million people switching off for work
Well, listen Mr Average
You’re a jerk
Not me, you can’t hold me down
Not me, I’m gonna fool around
Gonna have some fun
Look out for number one
You can dig your grave, I’m staying young
Wham! Bam!
I am a man
Job or no job
You can’t tell me that I’m not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop
Don’t stay there and rot
If you’re a pub man
Or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you’re at
Make the most of every day
Don’t let hard times stand in your way
Give a Wham, give a Bam, but don’t give a damn
‘Cause the benefit gang are gonna pay
Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It’s gonna break your mamma’s heart (so sad)
It’s gonna break your daddy’s heart (too bad)
But you’ll throw the dice and take my advice
Because I know that you’re smart
Can you dig this thing? Yeah
Are you gonna get down? Yeah
Say Wham! Wham!
Say Bam! Bam!
Wham! Bam!
I am a man
Job or no job
You can’t tell me that I’m not
Do you enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop
Don’t stay there and rot
and
Wham! Bam! (D.H.S.S.)
I am a man
Job or no job (D.H.S.S.)
You can’t tell me that I’m not
Do you enjoy what you do? (D.H.S.S.)
If not, just stop (D.H.S.S.)
Don’t stay there and rot
and
Wham! Bam! (D.H.S.S.)
I am a man
Job or no job (D.H.S.S.)
You can’t tell me that I’m not
Do you enjoy what you do? (D.H.S.S.)
If not, just stop (D.H.S.S.)
Don’t stay there and rot
