Its My Job — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)





By: mac mcanally

1970

For mac who reminds me of me seven years ago

In the middle of late last night I was sittin on a curb

I didnt know what about, but I was feelin quite disturbed

A street sweeper came whistlin by, he was bouncin every step

It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept



Chorus:

He said, "its my job to be cleaning up this mess

And thats enough reason to go for me

Its my job to be better than the rest

And that makes a day for me."



I got an uncle who owns a bank, hes a self-made millionaire

He never had anyone to love, never had no one to care

He always seemed kinda sad to me and I asked him why that was

And he told me its because in my contract theres this clause



Chorus:

That says, "its my job to be worried half to death

And thats the thing people respect in me

Its my job but without it Id be less

Than what I expect from me."



Now Ive been lazy most all my life writin songs and sleepin late

And any manual labor Ive done was purely by mistake

If street sweepers can smile then Ive got no right to feel upset

But sometimes I still forget

til the lights go on and the stage is set

And the song hits home and you feel that sweat



Chorus:

Its my job to be different than the rest

And thats enough reason to go for me

Its my job to be better than the rest

And thats a rough break for me



Chorus:

Its my job to be cleaning up this mess

And thats enough reason to go for me

Its my job to be better than the rest

And that makes the day for me
