You got soul on the dole
you`re gonna have a good time down on the line.

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 the claims on your names 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 than alive in a nine to five
then they say you`d got to go
And get yourselves 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 out of 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.
On 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. . . .
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 everyday.
Don`t let hard times stand in your way
give a wham give a bam
But don`t give a damn
`cos the benefit gang are gonna pay.
Now I reach up high and touch your soul
the boys from wham
Will help you reach that goal
it`s gonna break your mama`s heart
It`s gonna break your daddy`s heart
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. . . .
Wham bam - I am a man
job or no job
you can`t tell me that I`m not. . . .
