A Workin’ Man’s Math

Oh, I wake up Monday, feelin' grand, 'Til I step outside—shovel in me hand, Boss man's shoutin', "Give yer all!" But me tank is empty, me will is small. Tuesday's here, I try me best, But 23%—ah sure, that's me crest! Swing the hammer, push the broom, Check the clock—ah feck, too soon! Always give a hundred, that's what they say, But I spread it out through me five work days! Monday's 10, Tuesday's grand, Wednesday's the peak, the best I can! Thursday's slippin', Friday's shy, Then I drink me pint and wave work goodbye! Wednesday now, I break a sweat, A full 40—'tis me best yet! Back is achin', mind's gone blank, Why's me wages still so shank? Thursday comes, me power fades, 22%—sure, who needs praise? Boss looks grim, he shakes his head, But weekend's near—I'm almost dead! Always give a hundred, that's what they say, But I spread it out through me five work days! Monday's 10, Tuesday's grand, Wednesday's the peak, the best I can! Thursday's slippin', Friday's shy, Then I drink me pint and wave work goodbye! Friday now, oh what a sight, 5% work, 95% shite! Clock strikes noon, I'm out the door, The workin' week? I'll do no more! I work all week for a pint o' cheer, Sweatin' me balls just to buy more beer! Drink it down, forget me job, Wake up broke—ah, there's the rob! And then it's all to feckin' work again! Always give a hundred, that's what they say, But I spread it out through me five work days! Monday's 10, Tuesday's grand, Wednesday's the peak, the best I can! Thursday's slippin', Friday's shy, Then I drink me pint and wave work goodbye! Oh, who works hard? "Not me" Who gives their all? "We`ll see" And where's me wage? "Down the drain" Ah feck it lads, let's drink again! Oh Monday's weak, Tuesday's slow, Wednesday's all the work we know! Thursday's lazy, Friday's free, Now raise yer glass and drink with me with me with me with mee Ohhhhh
